i received this email today from a health adviser i trust. i LOVE the idea of only 4 minutes a day to get fit and lose weight. BUT, loving is not enough -- the research shows it really works. and i know that committing to only 4 minutes a day, it is much more likely ill keep to a routine than by following the traditional advice on exercise. Most people think that they need to exercise several hours per week to get results. Thats complete BS -- and heres the proof. Canadian researchers at Queen’s University tested a workout using workout “finishers” style of training against long cardio. (Reference: Appl Physiol Nutr Metab. 2012 Sep 20.) - 22 college-aged women did 4 workouts per week for 4 weeks in one of three groups. Group A: did 30 minutes of treadmill running at 85% max heart rate Group B: did 8 rounds of 20 seconds of a single exercise (burpees, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, or squat thrusts) with 10 seconds of rest between round. Group C: did nothing (they were the non-training control group). Results: Both training groups increased their aerobic fitness levels by the SAME amount (about 7-8%). That’s right, the short workout finishers (of ONLY 4 minutes) worked just as well as 30 minutes of cardio! Shocking? Yes, but that’s not all. ONLY Group B, the workout finishers style training, also increased muscular endurance in common exercises like chest presses, leg extensions, sit-ups, and push-ups. And finally, this intense but brief training method used by Group B also resulted in greater overall workout enjoyment. Make sure you read that last sentence one more time so it sinks in please… Enjoyment is obviously a key to consistency when it comes to exercise, otherwise you’ll never follow through. The Canadian Scientists concluded that “extremely low volume bodyweight interval-style training” will boost cardio-vascular fitness just as well as cardio while giving you BETTER improvements in muscle endurance. All in only 4 minutes. So, what was the EXACT protocol that helped these people get shocking results in just 4 minutes? It’s called Metabolic Stacking from my good friend Mikey Whitfield who’s lost 105 POUNDS using this brand new scientific approach.
