Quick Healthy Workout

A regular and intense three-minute workout can do wonders in boosting your metabolism, says a new study.

Professor James Timmons, who worked with a team of researchers from Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh, Scotland, brief high-intensity exercises repeated in every couple of days may significantly take down the risk of diabetes.

"What we have found is that doing a few intense muscle exercises, each lasting only about 30 seconds, dramatically improves your metabolism in just two weeks."

It was found that there was a significant effect on their body's ability to process sugars.

He said, "The risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type two diabetes is substantially reduced through regular physical activity. Unfortunately, many people feel they simply don't have the time to follow current exercise guidelines.

He further added "Current guidelines, with regards to designing exercise regimes to yield the best health outcomes, may not be optimal and certainly require further discussion.

"The low volume, high intensity training utilized in our study substantially improved both insulin action and glucose clearance in otherwise sedentary young males and this indicates that we do not yet fully appreciate the traditional connection between exercise and diabetes".

Even if you don't have that much time, it's still important to get a little bit of a workout in at least 2-3 times per week.

Spending an hour at the gym a days of the week will really help improve your overall health and get your body in tip-top shape.
