You know you should exercise but you don’t have the time or money for a health club. A British study just published in the Journal of Physiology shows that you can keep fit with three 20 minute home sessions a week using high intensity training and virtual but not direct supervision.
The researchers studied some of the toughest cases, 32 obese adults at risk for significant heart disease participating in one of three exercise regimens for 3 months. The data showed that that those subjects using the three weekly 20 minute self-directed high intensity home exercise programs without the use of equipment showed the same benefits as those in a professionally supervised high intensity training program at a gym or a more leisurely 150 minutes a week moderate intensity home training program. The benefits of all programs included reduced cardiovascular disease risk, better glucose metabolism, and improved body composition.
This study supports use of inexpensive structured home exercises for those in need of cardiovascular rehab training. If you have the need, your physical therapist can design such a program for you to use at home that which will be cost effective and convenient.
