After 10 minutes, I want to vomit but those 10 minutes gave me maximum fat loss that you wouldn't get in any 1 hour of cardio.

My point is, the 3-5 minute intervals are way too much. It should be one minute hard core, 30 seconds brisk walk or completely nothing.
i've read several HIIT articles trying to sort out what interval is best, i've read 12 second/8 second intervals are really good, if i recall.
