That's what my patients tell me. They want the benefits of exercise, but don't like doing the actual work. I can't blame them - as I've gotten older, I have the same problem. My workouts have gone from 60 minutes to 10 minutes - and then COVID hit. My research projects got shut down and my gym closed, so I started reviewing the latest studies and experimenting on myself in my basement.

Faster Workouts is the end result of that. It's a full-body, 5 minute workout for the home that is all the exercise you'll need to do if you want to be fit, strong and feel better.I spent thousands of dollars (my wife will vouch for this) testing different pieces of equipment to find the most cost-effective options too.

It's based on NEW RESEARCH showing that incredibly short workouts - done at very high levels of effort - are as effect as workouts 10x as long but at lower levels of effort that people typically do them at.

We have two keys to this approach. First, we use a heart rate monitor and - guided by a personal trainer - gradually increase the resistance of the weights we use, until your heart rate gets above 90% of its maximum. Second, we use inexpensive but rugged containers (backpack, tool caddy, dry bag) and clean rocks from a hardware store that make the exercises hard enough to get your heart rate in that range - and get you much stronger in the process.

We only do 5 exercises - for 30 seconds each - at that high level of effort, so it's actually not that bad. It's hard but short. And if the results still sound too good to be true, here are some more studies - Study, Study, Review
