New study

[PHIL HERNON]

Out of Canada proclaiming that 6 MINUTES PER DWWK of INTENSE training is more beneficial than 1 HOUR PER DAY at a moderate pace.

so this is how it is.
i guess i am going to hit the gym tonight,and i am doing back.so its going to be just it and out

 

[Moen]

I would be very embarrassed to go into the gym to do a 6 minute workout

 

[Paul Bunyan]

I'm coming out with a new program called "5 Minute Abs" . It will be the most revolutionary ab workout the world has ever seen!

PB

So what do you figure Canada's definition of "INTENSE" really is??

30% less than what we in the US think is "intense"

here is a small article on the study.

whats that the new version of the 20 minute thing that was supposed to be training for people who "just don't have time to work out" Hmmm I think thats BS if you want to train, you make time to train...

i knew jerkin off off once a day was healthy

That article basically describes a "short" HIIT session - for cardio, not muscle/strength gain.

forget it bro I am on the edge of publishing 4 min abs so obviously your long winded waste of time 5 min abs will have no market value as you can plainly see with my 4 min ab inovation.

 

[Big Ed]

4min is to short and 5min is to long no one will go for it. 4min 30 sec abs is the way.

 

[BigBoyJ]

You're all wrong. I have invented the most amazing, innovative and astounding ab workout ever. It's called the SNEEZE. Just one sneeze a day is all you need for great abs. Advanced sneezers can even work up to two sneezes. However this will lead to overtraining in most people. (cannot be held liable for excess sneezing in allergy sufferers)

 

[Vander_V]

wheres the study yall.

 

[bigbaldbulldog]

that may work for the guywho came up with it along wqith a few others but i think it may not be plausable for most...i think the way yo uTrain Phil is best...after 20 years you show3ed me a new of training and i made gaisn i had not made in 18 years...

Canada can keep the training concept...i like what i do..WHY?...it works very very well

exactly - the media is doing the usual routine of taking bits out of a study and running a headline.

i have not found the actual study yet to see what was done.

Parra et al. (Acta Physiol. Scand 169: 157–165, 2000) showed that 2 wk of daily sprint interval training (SIT) increased citrate synthase (CS) maximal activity but did not change "anaerobic" work capacity, possibly because of chronic fatigue induced by daily training. The effect of fewer SIT sessions on muscle oxidative potential is unknown, and aside from changes in peak oxygen uptake (O2 peak), no study has examined the effect of SIT on "aerobic" exercise capacity. We tested the hypothesis that six sessions of SIT, performed over 2 wk with 1–2 days rest between sessions to promote recovery, would increase CS maximal activity and endurance capacity during cycling at 80% O2 peak. Eight recreationally active subjects [age = 22 ± 1 yr; O2 peak = 45 ± 3 ml·kg–1·min–1 (mean ± SE)] were studied before and 3 days after SIT. Each training session consisted of four to seven "all-out" 30-s Wingate tests with 4 min of recovery. After SIT, CS maximal activity increased by 38% (5.5 ± 1.0 vs. 4.0 ± 0.7 mmol·kg protein–1·h–1) and resting muscle glycogen content increased by 26% (614 ± 39 vs. 489 ± 57 mmol/kg dry wt) (both P < 0.05). Most strikingly, cycle endurance capacity increased by 100% after SIT (51 ± 11 vs. 26 ± 5 min; P < 0.05), despite no change in O2 peak. The coefficient of variation for the cycle test was 12.0%, and a control group (n = 8) showed no change in performance when tested 2 wk apart without SIT. We conclude that short sprint interval training (15 min of intense exercise over 2 wk) increased muscle oxidative potential and doubled endurance capacity during intense aerobic cycling in recreationally active individuals.

[The Myth]

The real author of this....

This was probably written by the same guy that said it only takes 3 inches to satisfy a woman. I think it is safe to say, that is as insane as this article!

Hey that 30% less is alot more than that 95% obesity rate in the US bro, LOL.
