Fast track to health benefits in the gym
FORGET long stints at the gym – just three short sessions can do the trick.
High Intensity Interval Training and Sprint Interval Training totalling 90 minutes a week is as effective as five sessions of traditional exercise of five hours a week, a new study says.
Current Government guidelines recommend at least 30 minutes of exercise five times a week. But scientists say short bursts can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, cutting heart disease, stroke, cancer and Alzheimer’s risks.
