How Extreme Fitness Gets People Fit In Less Time

By James Spann


Working out is crucial because it's a part of life and the body absolutely needs it. Not too long ago where work involved manual labor, an exercise routine actually fit right into one's work. This isn't so today, with the majority of the people in the workforce seated for a good part of their day. As such, they have to implement some kind of an exercise regime into their lives, and perhaps the best one of all is extreme fitness.

This concept is sweeping the nation because the challenging workouts have been found to provide the most benefits. With them, people can maintain their weight, reach their weight-loss goals, and of course, get fit and maintain that level of fitness throughout life. The important thing however, is to progress at a proper pace. Those who jump right into extreme workouts may actually cause themselves more harm than good, injuring their muscles, or even causing other more serious injuries to themselves.

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.

The benefits and harmful effects of extreme workouts have been carefully measured with regards to intense workouts. This is been proven, especially by the team in the Tabata regime. The only thing is that people should be careful not to over extend themselves if they aren't already fit. In such a case, it would be highly recommended for people to gradually reach these levels before engaging in more challenging workouts.

Being physically fit brings many benefits to people. It keeps them healthier overall, building a stronger immune system and fending off chronic diseases, like diabetes, for example. It means the possibility of living a longer life, and one where there is quality of life. It can allow people to be independent throughout their lives, experience more energy and a sharper mind.
