Exercise, Build Muscle Quickly in Fewer than 90 Minutes per Week
You’re looking to achieve muscle weight gain and you want to accomplish it quickly. You’ve likely been told how much hard work it will take, and you’re getting mentally prepared to get to the health club four or five times a week for more than an hour per workout.
You’ve been mislead. Conventional wisdom has led you down the wrong path.
With a properly-constructed workout, you can get better results with just three short workouts per week. By better, I mean that you can build muscle up just as fast as with the long, conventional workouts, but you also get several additional benefits:
- You can build muscle mass fast and burn fat at the same time
- You can burn more calories as a result of a 15-minute anaerobic workout than in a 60-minute cardio workout
- You will increase your explosive power
- You will increase your your overall fitness level and anaerobic threshold
- You will improve your joint strength and flexibility
- You can increase your core without doing core-specific exercises
These techniques are not secrets, but aren’t widely used. These short workouts are based on interval trainings, which is nothing new. Intervals have been used successfully for years. But how you apply those intervals will be the key to success. That’s why it’s so important that you choose a solid workout if your goal is muscle weight gain.
The two primary types of interval training you’ll focus on are high intensity interval training (HIIT) and Tabata training. HIIT sessions are generally used for the cardio sessions, and 15 minutes will replace 45 to 60 minutes of traditional cardio exercises.
Tabata training is just one form of strength training using intervals and compound exercises that will have your muscles melting in 20-second sets. You can also generously sprinkle in bodyweight exercises, sports-specific exercise, kettleball training and more to keep your sessions varied. But prepare for effort — you can’t build muscle up unless you put forth maximum effort during your sessions.
But these types of workouts aren’t for the faint of heart. You must already have a base level of fitness before you try them, and your joints must be healthy to start. Anyone over the age of 60 should seriously consider getting checked out before attempting interval training. When you’re ready, put your game face on and get to work. You’ll love the results!
