Research suggests that one 20-minute strength workout a week can result in major improvements. Participants followed a training programme called Fit20, six exercises performed once a week on exercise machines: chest press, pulldown, leg press, abdominal flexion, back extension and either hip abduction or adduction. For each exercise, they did one set with a weight chosen so that they could do no more than six reps. The reps were performed slowly (10 secs up, 10 secs down), without locking the limbs or resting at the top or the bottom, and there was minimal rest (20 secs between moves). After a year, each participant had increased their overall strength by, on average, 30 percent! abingdon.org.uk/sports-and-leisure 2 Join the Abingdon Sports and Leisure Club From only £16.99 per month Increase your strength by 30% with just 20-minutes per week.
