Health Tip #4 – Short, Powerful Workouts WORK

You have probably gone most of your life hearing that in order for a workout to be the most effective, it has to be long, drawn out, and miserable.

For a long time, this is what people thought an effective workout looked like.

But luckily, scientific research has started to tell a different story. Decades of research has shown that our bodies get the maximum benefit with short but highly intense exercise rather than from endurance training.

This means that if you push your body to its limits for just a short time, you’ll get more benefits than if you were to do a longer workout at a lower intensity.

Of course, the high intensity will wear you out but you can motivate yourself with the thought that you only need to maintain this intensity for a short time.

Anyone can survive the high intensity for just 10 short minutes. And 10 minutes is all you need if you push yourself as hard as you can for that time.

And once you have survived those 10 minutes, you can rest with the confidence of knowing that you have accomplished your weight loss goals for the day.

The other benefit of this method is that you can probably find 10 spare minutes in your schedule no matter how busy you are. Wake up 10 minutes earlier or go to bed 10 minutes later.

Take a 10-minute workout break at work instead of the coffee break. The workout will leave you feeling far more energized than any cup of coffee ever could.
