High intensity for a short period of time. I use it for stationary bike. A 10 minute ride is equal to 75 minutes.
Google HIIT training. Lots of sites.

Go to utube - they have lots of examples for HIIT.
I work with my trainer - he has me jumping on and off cardio equipment - doing floor exercises, dragging chains across the floor. It really burst of energy - getting your heart rate up and putting on a big sweat.

It is training in intervals where the intensity is high.

Though, I prefer:

Super
High
Intensity
Interval
Training

Makes for a better acronym.
