Everybody talks about the numerous benefits that come with exercising, but just how often do people need to exercise for them to experience these benefits? It’s no surprise if you have been thinking about this too. When it comes to the best workout plan as a medical student, one has to argue over the right time and level of exercise to take, always. After all, new research from ECU sheds some light into it. The Study Setup Imagine doing a single activity that only takes three seconds – like slow

Edith Cowan University research revealed that muscle strength benefits are seen with consistent, short exercise sessions. Participants performing a three-second eccentric bicep contraction thrice weekly saw strength improvements. Daily 20-minute exercises might be more beneficial than a single 2-hour weekly session. Regularity, even in short durations, is key to health benefits.

    In fact, energy restriction + high protein + resistance training appears to be the best of all for losing fat:

    Not to say aerobic exercise isn’t important - far from it - but if you want to lose fat, caloric deficit plus hi protein plus lifting wins.

      What is energy restriction? That video is looong

        Less energy in, so less kCal (I assume)

        Caloric restriction, or eating less calories than you burn off. Yeah, it is long, but it’s a good watch.

        TL;DW: eat less calories than you burn off, eat more protein, and lift weights or do calisthenics (body weight exercises like pushups, etc).
