RE: "Tabata" or other High Intensity Methods..........

I do some sprinting up stairs and hills followed by walking to get my heart rate up and down, that's probably as close as I come to any actual method.

I prefer to keep my heart low mileage so it will last longer. I take it for a drive often enough to keep acids and condensation from building up in the lubrication system.
From the article:

But before you fall off your sofa laughing at the ambitious among us, note that not exercising at all is far worse for your heart than overdoing it, doctors emphasize. As in so many aspects of life, moderation is key.

Myriad studies have established the heart-health benefits of moderate- and vigorous-intensity exercise. Conversely, not getting your blood pumping can lead to clogged arteries and heart disease. [10 Amazing Facts About Your Heart]

Moderate-intensity exercise includes movement that raises your heartbeat, such as casual sports, walking briskly, jogging, biking or swimming. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week to help ward off unhealthy weight gain and heart disease.

Vigorous-intensity exercise is the type that makes you short of breath and break out in a heavy sweat. This includes strenuous hiking, high-impact aerobics, long-distance running, or biking faster than 10 mph (16 km/h). People can do 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise weekly instead of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, the CDC says.
I'm reading this as just don't over do it, and use a little common sense.

Oh, an old lady at the tire store a few months ago gave me this tip: Braggs organic apple cider.
