Get Fit in Less Time: The Science of Short Workouts

In this episode of the Friction Factor Fitness podcast, host Tyler Martin discusses the power of short workouts and how new research shows that people can still get major benefits from small amounts of exercise, even if it’s less than the 150 minutes per week recommended. He explains that while doctors often recommend 150 minutes of moderate intensity cardiovascular exercise per week, this advice is incomplete. Muscle-strength activity was added to the adult activity guidelines for Americans back in 2008, but many doctors still fail to mention this. Tyler also talks about how to fit exercise into a busy lifestyle and how strength training can count as cardio if structured correctly.
