The one-minute workout
The one-minute workout sounds like the biggest fad in the fitness industry. The truth is that the science is now backing up the proponents of this type of workout. In a recent study, it was discovered that long hours of endurance can deliver just as many benefits as interval training, with participants in the study demonstrating almost identical progression in their aerobic fitness.
That’s just an example of what can be achieved. Countless studies have now arrived that seem to back up the idea that one-minute interval workouts can be just as effective as staying in the gym for hours every single day.
This article is going to go into why the one-minute workout can be so beneficial.
Why it Works Like This
One-minute interval exercise can be just as effective as endurance simply because the rate at which the heart beats equals itself out. Think about it like this. Someone who is participating in endurance exercise has a heart beating at a relatively low rate. Someone who is sprinting at an intense rate has a heart beating out of their chest. The difference in time essentially equals them both out.
The rate at which the muscles are being worked also equals out in the same way. This is a huge benefit and demonstrates that you can achieve just as much in one-minute as you can in 60

I agree, interval training is great. I never had the endurance to go for an hour run anyway. But I definitely can do exercise in bursts of intervals. Just wish it was 1 min and done instead of intervals lol
Yes! I truly believe this Jeannette. I recently started working out and I find that the longer I am in the gym, I get tired really fast compared to my quick at home workouts. I actually love my quick intense interval workouts so much more than the gym. Though this is my first time of hearing about the one-minute interval exercise, I'll be sure to try this. The time is so much shorter and would be very convenient for me.
