Minutes of Hard Exercise Can Lead to All-Day Calorie Burn
Sprint interval training could cut time exercising while controlling weight Newswise — WESTMINSTER, CO (October 10, 2012)—Time spent in the drudgery of strenuous exercise is a well-documented turn-off for many people who want to get in better shape. In a new study, researchers show that exercisers can burn as many as 200 extra calories in as little as 2.5 minutes of concentrated effort a day—as long as they intersperse longer periods of easy recovery in a practice known as sprint interval training. Kyle Sevits, Garrett Peltonen, Rebecca Scalzo, Scott Binns, Anna Klochak, Christopher Melby, and Christopher Bell, all of Colorado State University, and Edward Melanson and Tracy Swibas, both of University of Colorado Anschultz Medical Campus, compared volunteers’ energy expenditures on two different days, one in which they performed a sprint interval workout on a stationary bicycle.

The Case against Crunches
Sets of sit-ups may be doing more harm than good. See how to save your spine and finally score that six-pack. Tuesday, August 30, 2011 | Lara McGlashan-Volz Are you still doing sit-ups? Yet a quick survey of the club floor shows mats littered with devotees still laboring away on their backs. “Crunches do not support the fundamental design of the abs,” says Tim Sweeney, a Tier 4 personal trainer in Greenwich, Connecticut, who says he hasn't had a client do a sit-up since 2009. Going against this fundamental abdominal design by crunching and crunching actually moves you further and further from your flat-ab goal. The new-school way of abdominal training advocates the whole rather than the parts. Stabilizing moves like planks and side planks as well as movements where the goal is to prevent trunk rotation (like wood-choppers) force your trunk to automatically engage.
