How Extreme Fitness Gets People Fit In Less Time

By James Spann


In the past, as people simply going to work out while they worked. Manual labor involved lots of physical activity, so they didn't have to implement a workout regime into their daily routines. As a result of that, people today has to to find ways to exercise for their own good, considering many work in offices. This is where extreme fitness can give people the best of both worlds, or a good workout without having to invest too much time.

Challenging workouts provide the most benefits, helping people lose weight and get fit faster and most effectively. However, people also have to be careful not to overdo it, and to at least progress at a slow pace. Delving into extreme workouts can actually cause injuries to muscles, and sometimes to bones.

A good example of building muscle strength is with the CrossFit program. It has been developed to increase flexibility and cardiovascular strength. People are encouraged to use gymnastics, weight lifting, among other exercises that involve high intensity workouts. More and more people are becoming aware of its importance and benefits since it was started in 2000, in the United States.

Another high-intensity interval training program is called the Tabata protocol. Created by Dr. Tabata, who used a team of researchers to study the impact of high intensity intermittent training. Subjects trained intensely for exactly 20 seconds and then were given a 10 second rest, and repeated for four minutes.

The research was studied and tested for several weeks. The group of researchers found very impressive results, which demonstrated a huge improvement in the subjects' oxygen consumption and anaerobic capacity. They were even proved that these four minute workouts can produce better results than endurance exercise lasting over an hour.

This team of researchers studied the benefits and harmful effects of extreme workouts, but did not find any harmful effects. The only precaution noted was that this type of intense workout was meant for, and should only be undergone by those, who are already at a certain level of fitness. Therefore, the recommendation is to reach that level in other ways before engaging in such workouts.

Physical exercise is an important part of one's well-being. Simply put, it keeps people healthy. It builds stronger immune systems and stronger musculoskeletal bodies that can help them be more independent throughout their lives and fight off diseases. A sedentary lifestyle and a poor diet are responsible for the ever increasing chronic diseases today, which can be improved with some lifestyle changes.
