Quicker Can Be Better
If 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.

In order to do that, your body shrinks the muscles so they can operate more effectively as your body tries to horde energy.
