Our Favorite 1 Minute Workout (Yes, You Read That Correctly)

DSC_0040For years, we’ve read countless articles on how to sneak exercise into our daily routines & how to make exercising more convenient. I’m sure by now we understand how important exercise is, but little did we know the impact of just one minute. A study we found through the New York Times suggests just one minute of intense exercise can improve your overall health & fitness .

The study found that one minute of intense exercise embedded into an easy 10 minute workout is extremely beneficial. One minute of intense exercise, spread out over three 20-second intervals, can include sprinting or cycling, just to name a few.  

This fitness regime, done three times a week, resulted in:

  • Increased endurance capacity by 12%
  • Healthier blood pressure
  • Improved level of blood-sugar control for male participants
  • Increases in the number and activity of mitochondria, translating to a higher level of endurance and fitness

More and more we’re finding less excuses to skip working out and more reasons to be active. Try this one minute workout and let us know how it worked for you on our Facebook page!
