Well, that depends.  If you're just trying to occasionally boost your
heartrate enough to prevent arthrosclerosis, it may be enough.  If,
however, you're trying to burn fat--which Clinton says is his goal--then
the 15 minutes has to be at a heartrate somewhere between 60 and 80 percent
of your maximum safe heartrate (which equals about 220 minus your age).
Otherwise, you're just burning carbs stored in your muscles and liver (they
hold approximately 500 to 800 calories, if I remember correctly), which
your body will replenish at your next meal.
