Sprint 4 Seconds to Health

November 29, 2020 · In: Wellness

Intense bursts of exercise throughout the day may yield metabolic benefits.

Sprint 4 seconds to health. Intense bursts of exercise throughout the day may yield metabolic benefits.

Full disclosure. The workout I present today is not the workout I do or recommend. But I present some recent research findings as a reminder that any movement can provide value. You have heard it on innumerable occasions, from me and others. Regular physical activity is right for you. Benefits may include:

  • Weight control.
  • Reduction in risk of heart disease.
  • Help you manage blood sugar and insulin levels.
  • Improve your mental health and mood.
  • Help improve your brain (thinking, judgment, learning, and more).
  • Strengthen your bones and muscles.
  • Reduce your risk of some cancers, including of the breast, colon, lung, and uterus.
  • Help you quit smoking.
  • Reduce your risk of falls.
  • Increase your odds of living longer.

Oh, one more thing: It can improve your sexual health. For men, exercise can lower the risk of erectile dysfunction. For women, physical activity may increase sexual arousal.
