“maximum effort?” It takes me 20 minutes to work up to where I can give that much effort!

[bigdaddy45]

The 3 second workout. Oh yeah thats gotta work. And you can eat whatever you want, right?

[Leaning Right]

> The no exercise group saw no increase. <

Well, that’s disappointing.

Just kidding. Thanks for posting this article, CM.

Now if they can combine this with a study showing dieting for as little as 3 seconds a day make one lose weight they’ll become billionaires.

single rep sets are better than 0, I suppose

“And you can eat whatever you want, right?”

NOPE! Must diet for 3 seconds a day too for maximum results.

Yeah, how is it safe the lift any max out of the blue? Did they skip the 20 minute warmup?

[maineman]

I just laughed so hard I almost choked on my coffee.

[woodbutcher1963]

That is the first thing thought of when I read the story too.

Three second abs...

[subterfuge]

Exactly. If I don’t stretch some I’ll hurt my shoulders. Had surgery on both a few years ago.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

I get that workout putting on my yoga pants!

[TangoLimaSierra]

This might work for someone who has never lifted before. Anything is better than nothing.

Still going to be weak as a kitten, though.

There is an old Dragnet episode where Bill Gannon was trying to convince Joe Friday the benefits of isometric exercise.

[martin_fierro]

I exercise my rights.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

I can do better, how about 30 seconds?

They tell us that in rr to be hea,thy, one must walk a minimum of 10,000 steps per day (some vary the number)- now we find out that all we had to do was flex for 3 seconds? Lol
