Book excerpt: Finally, the solution to the #1 reason we don’t exercise: time. Everyone has one minute. A decade ago, Martin Gibala was a young researcher in the field of exercise physiology—with little time to exercise. That critical point in his career launched a passion for high-intensity interval training (HIIT), allowing him to stay in shape with just a few minutes of hard effort. It also prompted Gibala to conduct experiments that helped launch the exploding science of ultralow-volume exercise. Now that he’s the worldwide guru of the science of time-efficient workouts, Gibala’s first book answers the ultimate question: How low can you go? Gibala’s fascinating quest for the answer makes exercise experts of us all. His work demonstrates that very short, intense bursts of exercise may be the most potent form of workout available. Gibala busts myths (“it’s only for really fit people”), explains astonishing science (“intensity trumps duration”), lays out time-saving life hacks (“exercise snacking”), and describes the fascinating health-promoting value of HIIT (for preventing and reversing disease). Gibala’s latest study found that sedentary people derived the fitness benefits of 150 minutes of traditional endurance training with an interval protocol that involved 80 percent less time and just three minutes of hard exercise per week. Including the eight best basic interval workouts as well as four microworkouts customized for individual needs and preferences (you may not quite want to go all out every time), The One-Minute Workout solves the number-one reason we don’t exercise: lack of time. Because everyone has one minute.

Download or read book The Burst Workout written by Sean Foy M.A. and published by Workman Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here from Sean Foy—exercise physiologist and coauthor of the million-copy bestseller The Daniel Plan—is The Burst! Workout, a complete program for 10-minute interval and circuit workouts that can be done practically anywhere, anytime. Study after study proves the effectiveness of high-intensity interval training. Now, here’s exactly how to do it: four minutes to raise the heart rate and metabolism; three minutes of resistance training to strengthen muscles and bones; two minutes of core movements for the abs and back; one minute of deep breathing and stretching (a vital component missing from other popular highintensity circuit programs). The book features three four-week programs: Level 1, with no equipment required, perfect for the office (and fighting the “sitting disease”); Level 2, with minimal equipment; and Level 3, which brings interval training to the gym. The simple, scientifically devised exercises are illustrated with step-by-step photographs and are easy to master. The results are astonishing: The workouts boost metabolic rate, promote weight loss, target all the major muscle groups, increase cardiovascular endurance, have a positive effect on cholesterol levels and blood pressure, and deliver a sense of well-being. All in just a few minutes a day.

Download or read book The Time Saver s Workout written by John Little and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is something terribly wrong with the state of exercise as we know it presently. Sales of treadmills, running shoes, gym memberships, and yoga classes are at an all-time high, but so too are our national levels of obesity and type II diabetes. Ever since the 1960s the exercising public has been told to stretch for flexibility and to perform low-intensity steady-state aerobic exercise for their cardiovascular systems and some form of resistance training to keep their muscles strong. With regard to diet, they have been told to restrict or omit macronutrients such as fats and carbohydrates and lots of other advice with regard to calorie-counting. Could it be that this information, however well intended, was mistaken? And is it really necessary to devote so much time to the pursuit? Fitness researcher and pioneer John Little has spent more than twelve years researching the actual science underpinning our most prevalent beliefs about exercise and has come away from the enterprise convinced that we need an entirely new paradigm, one that would involve reliance on briefer workouts. He presents this revolutionary new approach in The Time-Saver's Workout. Among the fascinating revelations presented in this book: • Certain types of exercise can actually make you less healthy and fatter. • Taking large doses of food supplements might actually shorten your life and put you at greater risk for disease. • Stretching to become more flexible or to recover quicker from injury has been found to do neither of these things. • Resistance training, once considered to be the weak sister of exercise, is now looking like the best form of exercise one should engage in. The new protocols that Little exposes offer a far safer alternative for those looking to become stronger, fitter, and healthier without spending their lives in the gym.

This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most successful fitness and weight loss stories are from those who can self-motivate and are willing to learn. These qualities are more valuable than having the worlds most qualified and expensive personal trainer at your disposalIf you are looking for a home workout fitness routine that:* Can be done from your own home* Uses minimal fitness equipment and utilises bodyweight training* Is progressive for at least 6 weeks * Is designed to effectively burn fat, tone muscle and develop cardiovascular fitness* Won't take you more than 30 minutes four times a weekThen this is the one for you!Hi, I'm James Atkinson (Jim to my friends and readers). I'm a qualified personal trainer/ fitness coach, competing bodybuilder and have a burning desire to help others reach their fitness goals. I have been training for over fifteen years. This training has taken me from long distance running to bodybuilding competition. It is fair to say that I have learned the secrets of weight loss and fitness from my own personal journey. I have been fat, skinny and muscle bound throughout my fitness career and I really feel fulfilment from helping and advising others when it comes to their goals. So I have designed this home workout training routine to effectively burn fat, tone muscle and develop cardiovascular fitness.In this day and age, the pace of life is fast for many, and there are probably millions of people that would say that they haven't got enough time to lose fat, tone up or work on developing their fitness. But my home workout routine is not something that will take up hours of your day, I can tell you that you won't even need to train every day, you just have to follow the routine that will last less than 30 minutes for a maximum of four days per week and each week, you will have a slight upgrade to the previous week.This type of consistent progressive training is a sure fire way to get your fitness results! If I were looking for fat loss, muscle tone and total body fitness and I did not have access to a gym, this is what I would do.Be warned! Although this is a "stand alone" fitness routine, I would NOT recommend this to the beginner to fitness, some of the exercises may be too advanced for someone just starting out.If you do happen to be a beginner, I would recommend my "Home workout for beginners" fitness routine.The home workout for beginners routine was designed as a "prequel" to this and if you were to start with it, and then decide to try this, you will find that it follows on very nicely.Good luck! Il see you on the inside!Please remember that I am always happy to help where I can, so give me a shout if you get stuck or have any questions. All the best Jim Email: [email protected]
