What Is The Best Duration For Exercise?

the question of the day is…

“What is the BEST exercise length?”

Well, with the right exercises at the right intensity, you could get results in just 10 minutes.

Now I know this sounds crazy, but I just looked over this new research…

According to the US National Library of Medicine, intense  exercise for just 10 minutes releases HGH (Human Growth  Hormone), which is a powerful hormone that burns fat while  you rest.

Now here’s more proof…

University of Utah researchers found that even brief  episodes of physical activity, that exceed a certain level of  intensity, can have as positive an effect on weight loss as  does the current recommendation of 10 or more minutes
at a time.

“What we learned is that for preventing weight gain, the  intensity of the activity matters more than duration,” says  Jessie X. Fan, professor of family and consumer studies  at the University of Utah.

“This new understanding is important because fewer than  5 percent of American adults today achieve the  recommended level of physical activity in a week according  to the current physical activity guidelines.

Knowing that even short bouts of ‘brisk’ activity can add  up to a positive effect is an encouraging message for  promoting better health.”

The study shows that higher-intensity activity was  associated with a lower risk of obesity, whether in “bouts”  of fewer or greater than 10 minutes.
