You'd be surprised! The key here is focusing your strength and effort into a short amount of time. Imagine lifting (or bench pressing) the heaviest thing that you can and then holding it for 1 minute straight. Pretty tiring huh? That’s enough to stimulate your muscles to grow.
These exercises are designed so they can be performed by virtually anybody. The earlier exercises in each progression are easier. These will build your strength foundation by tightening up and toning your muscles. The later exercises are more difficult and will build tremendous strength.
As you rotate through the progressions, you'll find yourself able to perform each exercise a few seconds longer. This means you're getting stronger! When you are able to go up to a more difficult exercise, it also means you've gotten stronger! Over time, you may start seeing improvements in your muscle tone and shape and if you happen to stop by a gym, go see how much you can lift! You might just surprise yourself. I know I did!
Your progress depends on many factors including how you well you eat, sleep, genetics, etc. If you do the One Minute Workout daily, on average, you can expect to start noticing strength improvements in about 1-2 weeks.
The One Minute Workout is based on intensity and consistency. You may not be pushing yourself hard enough with respect to either the difficulty of the exercises you do, or the duration of each exercise session. Try to do the exercises for a few seconds longer each time or try a harder exercise.
Remember to do your exercises each day if possible. You can take a day or two off each week if you want but make sure you do your exercises on all of the other days!
You can do them every day. If you need to take a day off here and there, that's fine too. Just don't take too many days off.
Of course! One minute is the minimum. The sky is the limit although you'll probably find it more difficult to do more than a few exercises with good form in the same day.
Pretty much anywhere! (Okay, maybe not underwater or in space.) You won’t need any special equipment for the Basic Progressions. Just some floor space and maybe a chair or two.
For the Advanced Progressions, it will be helpful to have access to a pull-up bar. You can also try using the edge of a stable table.
Anytime you want. That's the beauty of the One Minute Workout. Sprinkle exercise sessions throughout the day and before you know it, you’ll start to move, feel, and look better!
Sure. This is called supercharging an exercise and you might find yourself progressing a bit faster. And there’s really no downside to doing so.
We’re rebuilding it right now to make it even better! We'll let you know as soon as it's available.
