“I don’t have time to workout.”
I hear this often.
My reply….Do you have 4 minutes?
Some recent research says not only can you get better results in only 4 minutes but’ you’ll enjoy it more.
And when you like your workouts you’ll stick with it long enough to see results and that just keeps the motivation coming.
If you’re a skeptic here’s a link to the research article.
The researchers compared 2 groups of women doing either the old school 30min of cardio
Versus
4min of “Full-body aerobic-resistance” (think jumping jacks, mountain climbers burpees)
Both groups did their workouts 4 days per week for 4 weeks.
8 hours of working out for the endurance group that month.
Versus
64 minutes total training time for the low volume group.
The Full-Body resistance group far exceeded the endurance group for muscular strength and endurance after 4 weeks.
Even more important was that the low-volume group showed higher enjoyment levels from the workouts and higher willingness to continue with the workouts.
What would you rather do 64min or 8 hours?
Just a little more than an hour a month of exercising.
And you get better results.
You can apply this to your weekend workout right away.
Remember it’s not the time you spend in the workout it’s what you do during the workout that matters.
