Yeah, I know where your dirty minds went with that title, but I'm not talking about THAT type of quickie (get your mind out of the gutter!). I'm talking about performing a high intensity, full body, fat loss workout.
An 11 minute workout to be exact. Researchers from Southern Illinois University have concluded that an 11 minute workout can help you burn more fat all day long.
The study showed that people who lifted weights for 11 minutes three times a week increased their metabolic rate even as they slept. The author of the study, Erik Kirk, Ph.D. says that the process of breaking down and repairing your muscles increases your metabolism.
Faster metabolism = more calories burned.
Furthermore, the study found that because the workouts were only 11 minutes long, the participants actually fit in their workouts an astounding 96% of the time!
How many of you can say that you perform 96% of your scheduled workouts?
I have to admit, it's quite satisfying to continually come across studies that back the science behind my BusyBod Workout System. The workouts are certainly not easy, but you're done in less than 15 minutes and you'll get better results than your typical hour long gym workout.
So try this "quickie" below. Perform the first 4 minute circuit, rest 3 minutes then repeat it one more time. There's your 11 minute workout.
Give it a try and let me know what you think by posting below.
