We all know that doing regular exercise is very important to keep our metabolism right. We should be thinking about walking, yoga, aerobics, gym, swimming, and many more, but have you ever thought a short burst 4 seconds workout can help you to stay healthy in your life?
This is strictly for people who don’t move much in a day or the people who say I don’t have much time to workout.
Some people would be thinking how is it possible? I would say
And this is a scientifically tested and proven study
This Research was done by
University Of Texas, Austin
Day 1:
They asked 8 healthy and active men and women to just sit for the whole day, they have only got up from their chairs for eating and to the bathrooms.
Day 2:
The next day, they were fed with a high-fat breakfast which consists of melted ice creams.
After given this the scientist monitored their metabolic changes in the body for the next 6 hours.
Day 3:
So on this day, the scientist has asked them to do the same as what they did on day 2, sitting down for the full day. But there is a very small change, this time, every 45 minutes once they sprinted for a few seconds on a stationary bicycle with no resistance. so they peddle so fast for 4 seconds and rest for 45 minutes and they repeat again and again. They did this for 8 hours where they peddled under 3 minutes worth of the entire exercise.
So what’s the result? you are curious right. Let’s go with it,
Total Time Of Peddling – 160 Seconds
With just these 160 seconds of peddling in a day time, the metabolic responses have changed for those people. They burned lots of fat and exhibited lower blood levels of triglycerides.
Ya, I got your question, what are triglycerides?
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. When you eat, your body converts any calories it doesn’t need to use right away into triglycerides. They are stored in your fat cells.
This finding suggests that even a very short 4 seconds high intense workout give a very positive effect on our body, so here is the practical formula for the people who don’t move much in a day or the people who say I don’t have much time to workout.
You need to take a break from whatever activity you do sitting for the whole day, there are three break plans,
50 Minutes + 10 Minute Break
40 Minutes + 7 Minute Break
25 Minute + 5 Minute Break
During break just move around, walk, stretch, standing jog, nee raise, loosen your muscle, jump, etc. Do some activity that involves your muscles. This process will keep you fit. Just try it when you hit the office next time. Set reminders on your mobile or laptops.
Just Type BREAK REMINDER in your mobile app store, you will find so many apps. Just install whichever you like and set the timer in any one of the 3 above formats.
