I’m not an expert on people, but I do believe in two fundamental truths:The prospect of wealth motivates deceit.andThe natural state of a human is expansion.Now, the first truth we’ll save for another blog post, as it is the second truth that I think relates best to what I want to talk about today.We expand. It’s what we like to do. We like to take up more space.

Workouts | Aug 05, 2013Home Workout Routine: Low-Impact HIIT Go hard (but stay soft on your joints) with this fast, fat-burning circuit 1 of 7Home Workout Routine: Low-Impact HIIT High-intensity interval training (HIIT) describes any workout that alternates between intense bursts of activity and fixed periods of less-intense activity or even complete rest. It is without question one of the most effective and efficient ways to burn fat and boost aerobic capacity, but what most people don’t realize is that it doesn’t have to be high impact. If you’re nursing an injury (or want to avoid ever doing so in the future), you can still reap the fat-burning, metabolism-boosting benefits of HIIT.This quick workout plan was designed to help you push to your max without pounding your joints. You don’t need a single piece of equipment or a lot of space (and you won’t be bothering your neighbors with loud, thumping jumps), so this “quiet cardio” routine is perfect for a hotel room or small apartment.

More good news for those of us short on workout time: A new study shows that Tabata definitely lives up to its reputation as a 4-minute fat-burning miracle workout.In the study, participants performed 20 seconds of bodyweight squat jumps, then rested 10 seconds. They repeated this sequence eight times for a total of 4 minutes and ended up blasting away an average 13.5 calories per minute (some participants burned even more!) and doubling their metabolic rates for at least 30 minutes afterward.“This particular style of interval training has profound effects even on short-term post-exercise metabolism,” says lead researcher Michele Olson, Ph.D., principle researcher at the Auburn University Montgomery Kinesiology Laboratory. “It would take five times the amount of typical cardio exercise to shed the same number of calories you can in a four-minute Tabata.”The important thing to note about Tabata is the intensity factor. We’re not talking four minutes of brisk walking: You better be going “all out” in order to reap these amazing benefits
