STOP Doing Cardio! Do THIS For 1 Minute Instead

Over deze video

What if everything you thought you knew about cardio was wrong? Dr Rhonda Patrick, a PhD biomedical scientist and expert in ageing and metabolism, says that a single minute of high-intensity effort produces more physiological benefit than an hour of steady-state cardio. She walks through the exact protocol, what happens inside your body when you push past 85% effort, and why a molecule your muscles produce during intense exercise is being called a miracle drug. The protocol is called the Norwegian 4x4: four minutes of hard cardiovascular exercise (assault bike, rowing machine, stationary cycle, or running) at 80 to 90% of your maximum effort, followed by four minutes of slow recovery. Repeat four times. That's it. But if even that feels like too much, the minimum effective dose is one minute of intense effort followed by one minute of rest, repeated 10 times. Or a Tabata: 20 seconds all out, 10 seconds rest, repeated eight times. A 10-minute workout.
