Exercise Less; Rest More for Optimal Health

Learning from Our Cavemen Ancestors

Can you imagine a workout routine that focuses just as much on rest as it does on exertion? How about if you can get results in just 10 minutes—instead of 60? Those may be great selling points, but the best part is, the results you’ll get —from dropping the fat, to building lean muscle, to improving the strength of your heart and lungs — far outweigh any cardio workout you can do.

Quicker Can Be Better

Keep in fitIf you look in any gym, you’ll see hordes of people sometimes spending as much as one or two hours working out. These people are under the mistaken belief that they are doing the best kind of exercise for their muscles. Unfortunately, they’re actually mistaken. What happens is that when you do these long extended exercises, you force your body to become more efficient. In order to do that, your body shrinks the muscles so they can operate more effectively as your body tries to horde energy.
