Intensity is better than duration

Wednesday 22nd March 2017

Training for 30 minutes can be just as effective as training for longer - IF you put the effort in. Intensity is better than duration: in a 30-minute session you will be able to put more intensity into your workout. In a longer session your energy levels are likely to start dropping and you won't be able to put in as much continuous effort. The body responds better to intensity rather than duration - so you will see better results quicker.

A typical session could include 20 minutes of resistance training and 10 minutes of HIIT. Although 10 minutes doesn't seem very long, if you put a lot of intensity into the 10 minutes the benefits will just be the same than if it was for much longer. The more intense the workout, the more calories per minute the body will burn, resulting in a much stronger post-exercise reaction.
