[FitDream] Short workouts or long better? I think you'll like this answer

Published: Thu, 04/05/12




Hi ,                                                                                                   April 5, 2012
 
What do you think is better for your health goals:  Short workouts more often or fewer, longer workouts?  I think you'll like the answer.
 
If you are moving ahead with your health and weight loss plan, you know that physical activity plays an important part in the big picture.  Yet when it comes time to plan your own workout routines, where to start?  There seem to be so many options, so much conflicting information!
 
My mission is to make all of this about diet and exercise as simple  as possible. If you're finding yourself time-challenged for exercise, today's article brings some reassuring news.
 
On a personal note, we just returned from an amazing scuba adventure in Micronesia - complete with a plant-based cook, the best in all of Manchuria!   My favorite videographer Greg made a movie of our adventure, complete with plenty of sharks, if you'd like to take a peek.
 
Here's to a healthy,  happy and fit week ahead!
 

P.S.  You're invited to the free Teleclass I'm hosting in conjunction with the PCRM 21-Day Vegan Kickstart. We have over 800 signed up so far!  Links below and hope to see you there.
 

Which is better for health & weight loss:  Short workouts more often or fewer, longer workouts?

Each year, research studies and analysis are released regarding how, when, what, and where to exercise. 
 
And I read as many of them as I can so that you don't have to.  :-).   This gives me a great overview of what works, what doesn't work, and to what you need pay attention. 
 
These studies always leave me asking more questions, such as:
 
  • What is the previous condition of the subjects? 
  • What were their dietary profiles? 
  • How well was the study monitored? 
The questions go on forever, yet the nature of research is that we test, test, and test again hoping to find indicators, commonalities, and eliminate a few hypothesis.
 

You can catch up with the most up-to-date guidelines about what you, as a healthy adult, need to be sure to include each week for fitness here:  The 4 pillars of the ideal workout schedule: What the research says.

Already read it?  Good job.

So, now come the questions:

  • where do I fit those workouts in with my busy schedule?
  • what if I don't have time for a lengthy workout on enough days during the work to get the job done?
  • if I can only sneak in a few minutes here and there, is it going to do me any good anyway?

What the research says about many mini-workouts vs. fewer longer workouts:

My Guest Post this weekat Engine 2 Diet.com:  Taking a Plant-strong stand

Plant-based eating is a grass-roots movement.  It is growing stronger every day because more and more of us are taking a stand with our forks and moving plant-strong mainstream.
 
 
It is precisely because those who have gone before you have asked for veggie burgers, oatmeal, and salad with dressing on the side that these eats are easier and easier to find on restaurant menus.  Continue the tradition and make it easier for those who follow you.  Help grow the plant strong movement by simply asking for what you want.
 
 
I believe that the 'imagine plant-strong'  scenario above is entirely possible. Yet we will have to work together to make it happen.  Here are 3 simple ways that you can hasten the day...
 
 

Palau scuba adventure and Pacific plant-based cooking (video!)

Back on the grid after floating around in the bubbles in the Rock Islands of Micronesia.   Extraordinary adventure, and even lucky enough to have a plant-based Manchurian cook on board.  All's well!
