"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. It also prompted Gibala to conduct experiments that helped launch the ... science of ultralow-volume exercise.

Science Shows a Way to Get Fit That's Smarter, Faster, Shorter

The One-minute Workout

Finally, the solution to the #1 reason we don’t exercise: time. Everyone has one minute. 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. It also prompted Gibala to conduct experiments that helped launch the exploding science of ultralow-volume exercise. Now that he’s the worldwide guru of the science of time-efficient workouts, Gibala’s first book answers the ultimate question: How low can you go? Gibala’s fascinating quest for the answer makes exercise experts of us all. 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. Including the eight best basic interval workouts as well as four microworkouts customized for individual needs and preferences (you may not quite want to go all out every time), The One-Minute Workout solves the number-one reason we don’t exercise: lack of time. Because everyone has one minute.

The One-Minute Workout

Vor einem Jahrzehnt war Martin Gibala ein aufstrebender Forscher im Bereich Sportphysiologie und junger Familienvater. Die Folge: Er hatte kaum Zeit, etwas für seine Fitness zu tun. So entwickelte er eine Leidenschaft für hochintensives Intervalltraining (HIIT). Mit nur wenigen Minuten Training pro Tag blieb er in Form. Beruflich hat ihn seine persönliche Erfahrung zu Experimenten inspiriert, die zum weltweiten Erfolg von HIIT maßgeblich beigetragen haben. In Das 1-Minuten-Workout beantwortet er die ultimative Frage: Wie lang muss das perfekte Workout sein? Gibalas faszinierende Suche nach einer Antwort macht jeden Leser zu einem Trainingsexperten. Er zeigt, dass sehr kurze und intensive Trainingseinheiten die wirkungsvollste Art sind, fit zu werden und überschüssiges Fett abzubauen. Gibala räumt mit weitverbreiteten Mythen auf, erklärt wissenschaftliche Grundlagen und die gesundheitsfördernde Wirkung von HIIT. Zusätzlich enthält das Buch die acht besten sowie vier ultrakurze Workouts, die an individuelle Bedürfnisse angepasst werden können, um zu Hause oder auch draußen zu trainieren.

Das 1-Minuten-Workout

We all know we should exercise more - but many of us just don't have time. The current NHS guidelines advise 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week, and for people with busy lives that can feel like an impossible challenge. But what if you could get all the health and fitness benefits of that 150 minutes in far less time? Martin Gibala is one of the world's leading researchers into High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), the training protocol which has helped Joe Wicks sell 795k copies of Lean in 15. Gibala has spent decades studying the effect of this approach on everyone from college athletes to middle-aged couch potatoes, and his work demonstrates that very short, intense bursts of exercise may be the most potent form of workout available. In The One Minute Workout he explains the science behind this approach and offers new strategies for achieving fitness in astonishingly little time, including twelve interval workouts and four micro-workouts customized for individual needs, fitness levels and preferences. He also answers the ultimate question: How low can you go? (clue - it's in the title...)
