jogging exercise A new study from the University of New South Wales (Australia) has found a new way to exercise less and burn evne more calories.

Instead of exercising continuously at a regular pace, the new study shows that it may be more beneficial to go fast for a short while and then slow it down (also known as interval exercising or training).

The group studied did approximately eight seconds of sprinting on a bike, followed by 12 seconds of exercising lightly for 20 minutes. They lost three times as much fat as other women who exercised at a continuous, regular pace for 40 minutes.

The study involved a group of 45 overweight women who cycled three times a week over a 15-week period.

This type of interval exercise should also work with jogging & walking.

So, no more excuses! Say you don’t have enough time to get a workout in? Now you can do it in 20 minutes.

Piece of cake! er, apple. :)
