Shorter Workouts but More Effective. Interested?

First let me say Turbulence Training is not for everyone. Obviously if you are going to do shorter workouts, the intensity is going to have to be increased. Having said that, a shorter, more intense workout is actually more effective.

Let's use an example. If you jog, to switch over to a shorter workout, simply add sprints. Warm up for 5 minutes. Sprint for 20 seconds, then jog to recover. Maybe a minute at first but cut it down to 40 seconds if possible. Do this 8 times, then do your cool down and go home.

Yep - that's it but you will need to work up to that. You better check with a doctor first to be certain you can handle the higher intensity.

This works with more than just running. Head over to Turbulence Training and check it out.
