Researchers at McMaster University in Ontario have found that just 10 minutes of exercise a day can maintain your fitness and health. Their study showed athletes training for shorter periods achieved comparable – or even better – results.
Published in The Journal of Physiology, the research confirms that 10 minutes of exercise three times a week – with one minute of rest after each minute of high-intensity effort – boosts muscle strength and fitness to levels matching traditional endurance training.
This mild form of interval training delivers impressive outcomes, though scientists are still exploring the precise reasons why.
The beauty of interval training? Anyone can do it! Alternate sprint bursts with recovery periods while cycling, jogging, or similar activities.
