12 Minutes a Week (book)

The scientific evidence for the unbeatable effectiveness of high-intensity strength training

A scientifically based programme for strength and muscle building

Building muscle has never been easier or faster than with this revolutionary programme, which involves just one training session per week. Sports scientist Dr Doug McGuff and strength training expert John Little have developed a groundbreaking new concept in which 12 minutes of strength training once a week is enough to achieve maximum muscle and strength gains. The trainee pushes themselves to their limits and then allows the muscles sufficient rest time so that they can rebuild. The effectiveness of this high-intensity, low-frequency strength training (HIT) has been proven by numerous clinical studies.

This book explains in detail the mechanisms at work at a cellular level when the muscle is stressed, and what happens during the recovery phase when the muscle regenerates. The reader learns how modern science views strength training in terms of maintaining our health, and how this knowledge can be consistently put into practice. And last but not least, it turns some of the assumptions even experienced exercisers thought they knew about training on their head.
