Forget the "I can't find the time" excuse... Try running for just five minutes. The results are amazing.

Even if you exercise for a very short time, you can enjoy the full health benefits if you focus and exercise at high intensity.

 

If you find it difficult to set aside a long period of time for exercise, try reducing body fat with short-term exercise.

You just need to alternate between high-intensity and low-intensity exercises.

If you only do high-intensity exercise, the body's mitochondrial function, which produces energy, will decline due to a lack of oxygen in the body.

Repeated low-intensity exercise at this time replenishes oxygen in the body, enabling mitochondria to produce energy better.

When mitochondrial function is activated, metabolism in the body becomes active and fat does not accumulate easily.

Here's how:

 

Just sprint for 15 seconds, then walk slowly for 45 seconds, and repeat.

 

There are studies that have shown what health benefits this method has.

 

A research team from the Department of Health Sciences at Curtin University in Australia divided 90 adults aged 18 to 60 into two groups and had each group perform different exercise methods for 10 weeks.

 

One group sprinted for 15 seconds, unable to talk to the person next to them, in a sprinting position.

Walking slowly for 45 seconds was repeated 18 times, 3 times a week.

Another group rode their bikes for 45 minutes five times a week. The intensity was:

It was medium intensity enough to have a conversation with the person next to you.

 

After 10 weeks, the physical changes of the two groups were compared.

Both groups showed an average 9% increase in body oxygen and a similar decrease in body fat.

 

The two exercises had similar effects,

Even if you do intense exercise like sprinting for a short time, your body will run out of oxygen and try to replenish it quickly.

Because the heart and lungs are working vigorously.

 

During exercise, the cardiopulmonary muscles are trained and cardiopulmonary function is improved.

 

However, high-intensity exercise can suddenly increase blood pressure.

People with heart or lung problems should consult a doctor before adjusting their exercise intensity.
