There's Always tTme to Workout

In the age of 50-hour work weeks, it's easy to let fitness fall by the wayside. In fact, the number one reason why most people do not lead active lifestyles is because of a perceived lack of time.

For this reason, 30-minute workouts are becoming increasingly popular. While a new diet and exercise program makes its debut each week, consumers are becoming more skeptical about which craze to buy into. Luckily, there is an independent organization that tests and studies exercise and fitness programs. The American Council on Exercise is the premiere fitness certification, education and training organization worldwide. It recently conducted a study to help educate the public about workouts that help lower body weight, decrease risk of diseases and increase energy.

The 1-2-3 Fit circuit training program came out on top and was judged to be as, or more, effective than other methods of exercise such as playing sports, jogging or lifting weights. Since the 1-2-3 Fit workout combines cardio, strength and resistance training in just 30 minutes, it allows for higher energy expenditure thus, burning more calories.

The study evaluated 1-2-3 Fit's proprietary equipment including the Simbio System and the 30/30 Circuit training program, which was developed exclusively for 1-2-3 Fit's clientele. Test subjects ranged in age from 18 to 62, and physical activity levels varied from completely inactive to highly active. After a period of six months, researchers found that the 1-2-3 Fit circuit training program was effective for all ages, body types and activity levels.

Instead of ignoring exercise because you think you have no time, consider trying a 30-minute circuit training workout with excellent calorie-burning potential. Even the most time-starved, inactive person can now work their way to a healthier lifestyle.
