4 30sec mad bursts on the exercise bike gave the same fitness gains as people doing slower 20/30 min sessions!
Theres a similar principles in the bodybuilding world. Arnold and a lot people from his era used to training a couple of hours morning and night!!, a total of four hours a day and loads of sets. Then there is a group of people, and I follow this style, who do a couple of warm up sets and then one all out heavy set, and the then move on to the next exercise. You can be out of the gym within 40mins with this approach and only train 3 times a week.
Its not as extreme as doing just 2 mins, but then if you are trying to develop a specific muscle group you cannot hit all of it with just one type of exercise and therefore need to do something with a different angle/movement.
Heavy duty is not for pussys though
