Here’s a quick summary of the NASA-backed 10-minute exercise that’s claimed to be 70% more effective than running or jogging:
🚀 NASA’s 10-Minute Exercise: More Effective Than Running?
NASA researchers developed a High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) protocol designed for astronauts to maintain muscle and cardiovascular health in space where traditional running isn’t possible.
🔥 Why is it so effective?
- The routine involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by rest or low-intensity periods.
- This maximizes calorie burn and cardiovascular benefits in less time.
- NASA’s studies show it can be up to 70% more efficient in improving endurance and muscle strength compared to steady-state running or jogging.
🕒 Example of the 10-Minute HIIT:
- Warm-up (1-2 mins): Light jogging or jumping jacks.
- Interval 1 (30 sec): Sprint or high knees at max effort.
- Rest (30 sec): Walk or slow jog.
- Repeat intervals for about 7-8 rounds.
- Cool-down (1-2 mins): Slow walking and stretching.
💡 Benefits:
- Saves time while boosting fitness.
- Improves cardiovascular health.
- Builds muscle and endurance.
- Adaptable to different fitness levels.
