***FREE Downloadable 2023 Minimalist Fitness Program*** – Less Can Be Better

Martin Gibala, a professor of kinesiology at McMaster University, whose research on the physiological and health benefits of high-intensity interval training has attracted enormous scientific and media attention, says that elite athletes might require more exercise, but “For the rest of us—the people who just want to get in shape and stay there—the answer, based on current science, is a minute. A minute of hard exercise. You sprint as hard as you can for twenty seconds, and then repeat that twice more for a total of three sprints.” Continue reading ***FREE Downloadable 2023 Minimalist Fitness Program*** – Less Can Be Better

The Habit: Week-3 (Morning Exercise) It’s for the Mind more than the Body!

Q45-B

This week’s challenge is to wake-up 30-minutes early and exercise for at least 20-minutes. Most people that resolve to wake-up early to exercise do it with the vague goal of losing some weight and getting into shape. Those are terrible goals for several reasons.
