About this audiobook
Finally, the solution to the #1 reason we don't exercise: time. Everyone has one minute.
A decade ago, Martin Gibala was a young researcher in the field of exercise physiology-with little time to exercise. That critical point in his career launched a passion for high-intensity interval training (HIIT), allowing him to stay in shape with just a few minutes of hard effort. It also prompted Gibala to conduct experiments that helped launch the exploding science of ultralow-volume exercise. Now that he's the worldwide guru of the science of time-efficient workouts, Gibala's first book answers the ultimate question: How low can you go?
Gibala's fascinating quest for the answer makes exercise experts of us all. His work demonstrates that very short, intense bursts of exercise may be the most potent form of workout available. Gibala busts myths (“it's only for really fit people”), explains astonishing science (“intensity trumps duration”), lays out time-saving life hacks (“exercise snacking”), and describes the fascinating health-promoting value of HIIT (for preventing and reversing disease). Gibala's latest study found that sedentary people derived the fitness benefits of 150 minutes of traditional endurance training with an interval protocol that involved 80 percent less time and just three minutes of hard exercise per week.
Including the eight best basic interval workouts as well as four microworkouts customized for individual needs and preferences (you may not quite want to go all out every time), The One-Minute Workout solves the number-one reason we don't exercise: lack of time. Because everyone has one minute.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book offers the reader/listener peer-reviewed academic medical exercise protocols that are the most efficient I've come across. I think they can be applied to just about any physical activity of daily living. I'm looking forward to implementing these HIIT workouts to my daily fitness routines. Great book!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Some ideas to apply
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Too much story and not a lot of advice, but a great book after all.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great exercises but questionable nutritional advice. And, it leaves me wondering why 30 minutes HIITs are necessary if one minute HIITs achieve the same goals.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Maravilhoso! Revelador nos mínimos detalhes. Recomendo fortemente a leitura e o audiobook
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a very informative and entertaining book that pertains to interval training to achieve health benefits and time savings. Martin Gibala Phd. presented a well researched topic that is convincing and he also has a way of making a rather technical application enjoyable to read. The time savings and health benefits are something everyone should look into in attempting to achieve fitness and longevity in their life.
