“The usual excuse of “lack of time” for not doing enough
exercise is blown away by new research published in The Journal of Physiology”. Science Daily (source of the latest research news)
I have taken an excerpt from the above article to show you how effective the exercise is which we use
in the Regan Method boot camp. The HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) gets you ‘there’ without having to slave away for hours on the treadmill and be killed off with boredom !!
“The study, from scientists at Canada's McMaster
University, adds to the growing evidence for the benefits of short term high-intensity interval training (HIT) as a time-efficient but safe alternative to traditional types of moderate long term exercise. Astonishingly, it is possible to get more by doing less!
HIT means doing a number of short bursts of intense exercise with short recovery breaks in between and this produces the same physical benefits as conventional long duration endurance training despite taking much less time (and amazingly, actually doing less exercise!)
Less extreme HIT method may work well for people (the older, less fit, and slightly overweight among us) whose doctors might have worries about them exercising "all-out."
We have known for years that repeated moderate long-term exercise tunes up fuel and oxygen delivery to muscles and aids the removal of waste products. Exercise also improves the way muscles use the oxygen to burn the fuel in mitochondria, the microscopic power station of cells.
The traditional approach to exercise is time consuming. Martin Gibala and his team have shown that the same results can be obtained in far less time with brief spurts of higher-intensity exercise.
The "secret" to why HIT is so effective is unclear. However, the study by Gibala and co-workers also provides insight into the molecular signals that regulate muscle adaptation to interval training. It appears that HIT stimulates many of the same cellular pathways that are responsible for the beneficial
effects we associate with endurance training.”
So you see, you don’t need to be spending hours exercising – you just need to be doing the RIGHT exercises and doing them the RIGHT way to make the biggest
impact.
