I Tried to Build Muscle in 5 Minutes a Day

Описание: What happens when you replace going to the gym for an hour with 60-second workouts spread a few times throughout the day?

In this experiment, I ran a month-long micro-workout plan using just a bench and dumbbells. I did this type of training 5 minutes total per day, 6 days per week.

It definitely allowed me to be more present with my daughters, and spend less time working out. But could I build muscle in such little time?

If you’re curious whether ultra-short, focused bouts can build real strength and muscle, and fit around a modern, desk-bound life, this video is an honest look at what it’s like to live that way for over a month.

Research keeps pointing to the power of brief, vigorous bursts of movement for health and longevity. I wanted to see how far that could go for muscle, too.
