The High Intensity Workout: The Fast Track to Fitness and Health - Softcover
Synopsis
In light of modern societies increasing time demands, we have an increasingly sedentary population who continually cite time as the biggest barrier to exercise. In this book we show you how you can get fit and improve your health whilst fitting it into a busy lifestyle. This book is for anyone who wants to improve their fitness, improve their health and reduce their chances of getting some of the major diseases in today s society such as diabetes and heart disease, but doesn't have time to spend slaving away at the gym or running for hours on end. Just two minutes of high intensity exercise, three times a week, can improve your fitness levels by an average of 10% as well as increasing lower body strength. As well as improving your fitness levels high intensity exercise can increase your insulin sensitivity by 25% and lower fat circulating in the blood by 15%. This book is written by scientists and all information in it has been scientifically confirmed. The findings from the study that this book is based on were recently the focus of a Horizon programme (28th Feb 2012) on the truth about exercise. Approx 120 pages, with full colour photographs, illustrating the exercises. Content: Chapter 1: High intensity training and performance Chapter 2: High intensity training and health Chapter 3: Psychological aspects of high intensity training Chapter 4: Practical aspects of high intensity training Chapter 5: Myths about exercise

About the Author
Dr John Babraj is an exercise physiologist and has been working in the field of high intensity training research since 2007 and published the first major paper demonstrating that this type of training improved insulin sensitivity and aerobic fitness in sedentary people with just 15 minutes of training over 2 weeks. Dr Ross Lorimer is a researcher in the psychology of sport and exercise and is a Chartered Psychologist and Chartered Scientist. He has been involved in several high-intensity exercise studies and uses it as part of his own training routine for sports climbing. He has a keen interest in the psychological factors associated with being able to train at this level of intensity, such a personal motivation, as well being interested in the potential positive mental benefits of this training regime.
