Do 30 minute workouts actually work?
You’ve all seen them, the 30-minute workouts practically at every corner of our nation! The claims and hype on television that you can get the results you desire in 30 minutes, three times a week. But, come on, does it really work?
You bet it does! Especially for the beginning exerciser or the individual who hasn’t worked out in a very long time. Let me explain: If you are new to exercise, I know those traditional gyms or recreation centers can be very intimidating. Places like Curves and just-for-men exercise gyms offer the client a safe, efficient and effective workout for men and women of all ages and fitness levels in one convenient location. When the 30-minute gyms are located in your own neighborhood, you will have developed the discipline to workout three times a week or more. Why does it work? Because it’s there!
Science has proven the 30-minute workout is effective, and you will see results with the hydraulic resistance machines, which incorporate aerobic exercise, strength training and stretching for a complete workout. It has been found that during the 30-minute workouts, women and men averaged about 65 percent of their heart rate maximum - plenty to improve cardiovascular fitness, but not so strenuous as to discourage women and men from coming back. They also increased muscular strength.
Depending on your fitness level, these 30-minute workouts can burn 164 calories to 522 calories per 30 minutes. It varies with each individual. Studies also found that sedentary and overweight women who followed the workouts for a period of 14 weeks raised their resting metabolic rate by as much as 400 kcals/day. They reduced their weight by an average of 14 pounds and lost an average of two inches from their hips and three inches from their waists while showing a 20 to 30-percent improvement in strength and a 15-percent increase in aerobic capacity. So, don't wait any longer - go do it!
