Description
'A health revolution.' New York Times
Just as Dr Michael Mosley's Fast Diet - the original 5:2 - alerted the world to a healthy new way to lose weight, Fast Exercise turns conventional wisdom on its head when it comes to the workout.
Dr Michael Mosley and Peta Bee investigate the science behind a radically different approach to exercise - one that is incredibly time efficient: HIT. Research has shown the extraordinary impact that ultra-short bursts of HIT (high intensity training) can have, whatever your age or level of fitness. These include:
- improvement in fitness and endurance
- reduction of body fat
- increase in upper and lower body strength
- improvement in insulin sensitivity
In Fast Exercise, Dr Michael Mosley, a self-confessed sloth, teams up with super-fit health journalist Peta Bee to dispel common exercise myths. They offer practical advice and a range of workouts that take just a few minutes a day and can be done any time, anywhere. And Fast Exercise is for everyone: those who don't enjoy exercise but want to lose fat and stay healthy, those who love exercise and want to enhance their performance, and those who just want to understand the science behind it all.
Get the benefits of exercise in just a few minutes a day with Fast Exercise.
