600 seconds. That\u2019s it. Doesn\u2019t seem like a whole lot of time, does it?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, I didn\u2019t think so either at first.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To give all of Kate\u2019s readers a quick backstory, I used to be the guy who worked out for over an hour each night, 6 days a week.<\/p>\n

I was always very proud of my dedication. I thought I was doing all the right things, but looking back at it now, I realize that couldn\u2019t be further from the truth.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to admit, but I wasted so much time in my workouts. Weight lifting three days per week, then doing cardio or interval training the other three days.<\/p>\n

I have no idea how my body didn\u2019t break down. Talk about overkill!<\/p>\n

\"KateI was actually like most of you. I wasn\u2019t in the fitness industry at the time. I was working all day at a computer software company, but still wanted to stay in shape and lose a little weight!<\/p>\n

I thought I had to go to the gym every night, in order to get the results I wanted. There are no quick fixes, right?<\/p>\n

Smash cut to today, where I do 10-minute burst workouts, 3-4 times per week, and actually give my body a chance to rest. Rest doesn\u2019t make you weak, lazy or show a lack of commitment (yeah, it\u2019s hard to admit that I used to think that way!)<\/p>\n

As I transitioned into the fitness industry, I was determined to create something for busy people that would actually strip away body fat in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n

After doing extensive research, one study really stood out in the benefits of short burst workouts.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s called the \u201cSpark\u201d study, which was designed by Dr. Glenn Gaesser to determine if many short bursts of exercise would have the same health and fitness benefits as the standard 30-40 minute workou<\/strong>t.<\/p>\n

In the study, ordinary people (not ex-athletes, like a lot of studies use) did exercises included walking, weight lifting, stretching, and aerobic dancing for 10-minute \u201cbursts\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dr. Gaesser\u2019s study showed results in just three weeks.<\/p>\n
