Short, Intense Exercise Increases Muscle Mass

[Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs] Short, Intense Exercise Increases Muscle Mass By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs After learning that he was prediabetic, actor and comedian Alec {NAME} started a strict weight-loss plan. With the help of his wife Hilaria, {NAME} cut out most sugar and undertook a daily exercise regimen that included spin classes and Pilates. He also took up weight-bearing exercise by lifting his young son, Rafael, up and down until he broke a sweat. Research suggests the actor was onto something. One study highlighted the positive health effects of a short-duration, high-intensity resistance exercise training program in overweight men. Special: [The #1 Mistake That Makes Bad Knees Worse (Watch)]( And that's most men. Statistics show that more than 73 percent of U.S. males are overweight or obese. The study, published in the journal Experimental Physiology, had men undergo a six-week training program that consisted of three 15-minute exercise sessions weekly. Each training session included one set of nine standard resistance exercises, such as leg presses and bicep curls — enough to leave participants fully spent. The researchers found that these short bouts of tough exercise were as effective for increasing muscle mass and function as 45-minute resistance workouts. The exercise also improved insulin sensitivity, which is important for battling prediabetes and diabetes, by 16 percent. If you're trying to manage diabetes and shed a few pounds, consider doing 15 minutes with weights and/or stretch bands three times weekly. Start with two- to five-pound hand weights, or grab two cans from your pantry — then you can work up to lifting a nearby toddler. --------------------------------------------------------------- Special Message --------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTORIAL The #1 Mistake That Makes Bad Knees Worse...
