Study: Get All The Exercise You Need In 1 Hour

Not having enough time is a favorite excuse for people when it comes to exercising, but new research may put a kink in that justification.

According to a new study from the University in Norway that came out Thursday, you may be able to get all the exercise you need in just an hour. The key is in intensity.

The study found that people who workout really hard for a few minutes with rest periods in between can benefit just as much.

“High-intensity interval training is twice as effective as normal exercise,” said Jan Helgerud, an exercise expert at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. “This is like finding a new pill that works twice as well … we should immediately throw out the old way of exercising.”

It may seem like the kind of workout typically reserved for Olympic athletes, but the study found that kind of interval training can also work for the average person too.

Experts said intense bursts of activity are precisely what the body needs to build stronger muscles. Traditional workouts lasting an hour or more simply don’t push the body enough.

If Tom is controlling the website is that why Thursday’s WOD is not posted? Hmmmmmm
