Effective Exercise
Thanks to Dr. Mercola!
Story at-a-glance
Sports fitness research has repeatedly demonstrated the superiority of high intensity interval training (HIIT) exercises, and this applies not only to walking, sprinting, bicycling and swimming, but also to strength training workouts Recent research shows doing a single set of weightlifting exercises three times a week for two months improves muscle strength and endurance as effectively as doing three or five sets Men doing five sets, three times a week, built larger muscles than those doing a single set. But while they added more visual bulk, they weren’t actually stronger If you’re only doing one set, you have to push yourself significantly harder during that set in order to lift to failure. While you could max out by using more weight, a better strategy is to simply slow down your movements. This is also known as SuperSlow weight training Superslow weight training has proven very effective for women with osteoporosis, who are too frail to do regular strength training
