60 minute workouts WORSE than 30 minute workouts

By Craig Ballantyne:

In a new study published in the American Journal of Physiology,
scientists found that 30-minute workouts resulted in the same
amount of weight loss as 60-minute workouts.

This despite the fact that the 60-minute workouts burned TWICE
the calories (600 per workout) as the 30-minute workouts
(only 300 calories per workout).

At the end of 13 weeks, the 30-minute workout group lost 8.8
pounds of fat, while the 60-minute workout group lost 8.4
pounds...only slightly less, of course, but still, you'd
expect MORE fat loss if you trained TWICE as long, right?

Strange, isn't it?

In fact, the scientists couldn't even explain these
disappointing results from the longer workouts. But they DO
know that there is some type of compensation that occurs
giving your LESS results from LONGER workouts.

That clearly makes 60 minute workouts WORSE than 

30-minute workouts, at least in my opinion.

 

Bizarro workout world, I agree. But bottom line...

Long 60-minute workouts aren't necessary.

And worse, long workouts probably lead to more overuse injury.

So in essence I think we can all find 30 minutes a day if we want better bodies. What do say?

To your success,
