The Power of Breakfast
Skipping breakfast before a morning workout may diminish results. In a study presented at a conference of the National Strength and Conditioning Association, subjects ran for 30 minutes before performing strength exercises. They did this twice, once after eating a carbohydrate-rich breakfast (usually cereal with milk, juice, and fruit) an hour before exercise, and another day after eating nothing. Breakfast skippers felt like they were working harder than they really were, and completed fewer weight-training repetitions. "If you exercise on an empty stomach, you won't work as long or as hard, and you'll burn fewer calories," says Gregory Biren, assistant professor of health and exercise science at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey.
26% of people surveyed claim that lack of time due to work demands prevents them from exercising.
Get Fit Quick
Regular interval workouts may help exercisers get in shape faster, according to a study in the Journal of Applied Physiology. Three times a week, volunteers rode a bike for 20 to 30 minutes, constantly alternating between 30-second bursts of all-out cycling and four minutes of easy cycling. Over two weeks, the time it took until they reached exhaustion nearly doubled: from 26 to ...
