Ten minutes of exercise a day is enough to stay fit and healthy, according to researchers at McMaster University in Ontario. The researchers showed that athletes who train for a shorter period of time achieved more results.
From the results of the study, published in The Journal of Physiology , it turns out that it is sufficient to exercise for ten minutes three times a week Provided you take a minute of rest after every minute of exertion. Muscle strength and fitness are improved in this way to the same level as with endurance training.
The new research shows that this mild form of interval training really works. However, the reason for this is still unclear.
The easy thing about interval training is that anyone can do it! For example, while cycling and jogging, you can alternate every minute with sprints and rest moments.
