I read recently that a regular and intense three-minute workout can do wonders in boosting your metabolism.
A study has been conducted on the effect of 'high-intensity interval training' (HIT) on the metabolism of sixteen sedentary male participants, who used exercise bikes to perform a quick sprint at their highest possible intensity.
It is found to
(*) significantly affect body's ability to process sugars.
(*) substantially reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease
(*) substantially reduce type two diabetes
Unfortunately, many people feel they simply don't have the time to follow current exercise guidelines. So why not got for this burst & fast excercies for few minutes regularly?
