This is a blog post I wrote the other day. It is picture heavy and attempting to repost it here is not something Im interested in, however I will gladly answer comments/questions/concerns here.

Here it is

Exercising 10 Minutes a week vs. 10 Hours a Week: Results Profound & Typical*|*The Dream Lounge

In the post I describe how I achieved BETTER results by cutting my time exercising down from 10+ hours per week, to about ~10 minutes per week (give or take a day of rest).

Again, before/after pics included.

thanks

Vee Ferguson has been working out in a similar fashion to me for decades, and is in great shape as well. Check him out @

YouTube - Vee's High Intensity Training Chin Up

I think what your failing to realize is that maybe (or Im 100% positive) you have above average genetics and whatever you do will get you great results.

This has no bearing on the methods employed being backed by science, or misconceptions/myth/old lore.

anyway, do what you will, gl with it

dude u probably know a lot more about fitness then me or probably most people here (you are writing a book on fitness and all that if I remember right). But honestly.. how do you expect people to believe that?

Can you give some keywords for people do their research about it. Do you have any academic evidence (Preferably from a renown academic fitness journal or something).

I'm actually not the "academic evidence guy" but once things are not manageable in my imagination I can only believe it with hard facts.

If it would be possible to cut down from 10 hours to 10 mins more people would know about it. Specially professionals and executives without a lot of time and access to quality information would know it and only work-out that way.. well I've NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT.....

I really hope you can provide some good info on it... if true it would be really interesting and I will give it a try. (AND SPREAD ALL OVER THE WORLD IF IT WORKS)

Here is the image. On the left I was working out 10+ hours a week, on the right I only worked out 10 minutes per week for about 5 months straight (since 1/09).



The book Im writing is primarily about nutrition, not "fitness". I am not trying to sell people on this, Im blogging about it because Ive had success with it and Im passionate about it atm.

Believe what you like, I have no hidden agenda, and those are the results I achieved cutting my time exercising down from 10 hours a week, to 10 minutes a week (sometimes even less).

Google: high intensity training

Check out the latest book on HIT titled Body by Science. They specifically took the massive academic evidence route and have 30+ pages of CITATIONS from various peer reviewed medical journals.

Youll come to learn that damn near everything in life worth learning is NOT main stream and NOT conventional wisdom. The fact that youve never heard about it has nothing to do with its credibility, if anything it proves that it's not main stream and has a higher probabilty than working vs. conventional lore that everyone else buys into- ie training 5-7 days a week, doing "cardio" all the time, power lifting, functional training, et cetera.

Cut down excerising from 10hr a week to 10mins a week.

Well hell if your goal is to just lose weight why even exercise at all?
Your book is about dieting not exercising...

My goal is to put on muscle mass and you can not do that with out training.

Diet alone will only help you lose weight.
Diet alone will not help you gain muscle mass.

The two pictures of you show a nice diet but show little if any in the gain of muscle mass.

So the title Cut exercising from 10hrs a week to 10mins is pretty misleading.

If your goal is to be healthy you can not skip out on cardio training.
If your goal is to gain muscle mass you can not skip out on weight training.

If your goal is one of the above to or both then you must spend more than 10mins a week training.

>>>My book- which is still a long way off from being done- again, is about nutrition for the most part. At no point have I said it is about "dieting". Why is my book even being discussed this much? Not that I dont appreciate it, but thats not the subject of this thread.


My goal is to put on muscle mass and you can not do that with out training.

>>>I don't think anyone with a fully functioning brain would argue against that...


Diet alone will only help you lose weight.
Diet alone will not help you gain muscle mass.

The two pictures of you show a nice diet but show little if any in the gain of muscle mass.

>>>I think your missing the point. I cut my time exercising back from 10+ hours a week to about 10 minutes a week. Measurable improvements in size, strength, and leanness were gained. Forget the amount, improvements were made cutting down my training time dramatically. This flips conventional lore head over heels.

So the title Cut exercising from 10hrs a week to 10mins is pretty misleading.

>>>Thats a ridiculous claim. I was exercising 10+ hours a week for nearly 2 years. I abruptly stopped and began working out about 10 minutes a week. These are factual events that happened in my life and the title reflects that. How is that mis leading? Explain if your going to make statements like that.

If your goal is to be healthy you can not skip out on cardio training.
If your goal is to gain muscle mass you can not skip out on weight training.

>>>>I agree 100%, however the generic "cardio" (read: steady state, low intensity, highly counter productive to better health activity) you are reffering to is based on gross misconceptions and false untested/misguided assumptions. The cardio vascular adaptations produced by 10 minutes of all out exertion far exceed any that result from running on a treadmill like a hamster. I dont understand the weight training comment since that is exactly what this is... care to explain?

If your goal is one of the above to or both then you must spend more than 10mins a week training.

>>>Not according to current peer reviewed research, applied rational thought, and real life results. Do what you like, but thus far this type of training proves quite the contrary.
