It only takes 3 minutes of high-intensity exercise every week to lose weight.
It is easy for modern people to find excuses not to exercise when they have no time to go to the gym and are tired after work. However, researchers at McMaster University in Canada conducted a high-intensity training study and found that only three minutes of strenuous exercise per week can achieve the effect of lowering blood pressure and losing weight, so people have no excuse not to exercise.

Since 2005, researchers have advocated that high-intensity exercise training can achieve the same effect as general exercise, but it needs to be demonstrated. The British BBC reported that according to the advice of the National Health Service (NHS), people need to do 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of high-intensity exercise every week to achieve the effect of physical fitness; But since 2005, McMaster University has developed a set of high-intensity training methods, which can exercise for 3 minutes every week, and the time can be adjusted at will, 30 seconds each time, * * * 6 times, or 20 seconds each time, * * * 9 times. Researchers point out that it may become the mainstream of future sports for modern people who have to be busy.

Gemmiti Timmons, a professor of systems biology at Loughborough University, took the lead in finding 300 overweight subjects to experience this exercise method, but the researchers who experienced it personally said that after four weeks of high-intensity training, his blood pressure and maximal oxygen uptake had obvious changes. He did not lose weight during exercise, but he lost 2 pounds when he stopped exercising. The researchers speculate that this method has a good effect, because fast and intense exercise can trigger a hormonal response, regulate the "interaction" between liver, muscle and adipose tissue, and protect the body from high blood sugar.

In the past, the United States conducted a survey on the duration of people's exercise, and found that most people prefer short-term quick-acting exercise to hours of hard exercise; However, before the formal study of this strenuous exercise method is released, people had better not try it easily to avoid adverse effects on cardiopulmonary function.
