Day and Jane Ann Day with Matthew LaPlanteDuring a conversation with his Mandarin tutor, cardiologist John Day heard about a location in China's Guangxi Province called "Longevity Village."

The One-Minute Workout: Science Shows a Way to Get Fit That's Smarter, Faster, Shorter
by Martin Gibala
A decade ago, Martin Gibala was a young researcher in the field of exercise physiology—with little time to exercise. That critical point in his career launched a passion for high-intensity interval training (HIIT), allowing him to stay in shape with just a few minutes of hard effort. His work demonstrates that very short, intense bursts of exercise may be the most potent form of workout available. Gibala busts myths (“it’s only for really fit people”), explains astonishing science (“intensity trumps duration”), lays out time-saving life hacks (“exercise snacking”), and describes the fascinating health-promoting value of HIIT (for preventing and reversing disease). Gibala’s latest study found that sedentary people derived the fitness benefits of 150 minutes of traditional endurance training with an interval protocol that involved 80 percent less time and just three minutes of hard exercise per week.

Offering inspiration in addition to practical advice, Holiday illustrates his points with references to well-known success stories. |
