Astonishingly, it is possible to get more by doing less!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have shown that interval training does not have to be &#8216;all out&#8217; in order to be effective,&#8221; says Professor Martin Gibala. &#8220;Doing 10 one-minute sprints on a standard stationary bike with about one minute of rest in between, three times a week, works as well in improving muscle as many hours of conventional long-term biking less strenuously.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;To achieve the study&#8217;s equivalent results by endurance training you&#8217;d need to complete over 10 hours of continuous moderate bicycling exercise over a two-week period.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been a fan of interval training for a long time.\u00a0 I won&#8217;t lie: it can be grueling.\u00a0 But it&#8217;s also mercifully short, and &#8211; more importantly &#8211; the alternating pace makes the time seem to fly by.\u00a0 Whatever else it may be, it ISN&#8221;T boring.<\/p>\n<p>Less time, same benefits: works for me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot off the presses: another study\u00a0confirming the benefits of high-intensity\u00a0cardio vs. traditional, low-moderate intensity aerobics&#8230; The usual excuse of &#8220;lack of time&#8221; for not doing enough exercise is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11,14,28],"tags":[85,324,869,937,1522],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3276"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3276"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3276\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
