Lose weight and stay healthy in just a few minutes a day with this range of workouts from bestselling author Dr Michael Mosley.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Exercise is good for just about everything – you stay fitter, younger, stronger. But how should you exercise? And how much?

In this book, Michael Mosley and Peta Bee present the truth about exercise, based on cutting-edge research from the leading sports science team at Loughborough University and other studies from around the world. These studies show that short bouts of high-intensity training can be significantly more effective than prolonged periods of low-impact exercise.

It is now known that everyone responds differently to exercise. Depending on our DNA, we range from 'super-responders' (e.g., Olympic athletes) to 'non-responders' (ever felt that you will never get really fit, however much you try?).

In Fast Exercise, Dr Mosley (technically a 'non-responder') teams up with health journalist Peta Bee (a 'super-responder') to explain how to improve the way you exercise – whatever your fitness level. They offer practical, user-friendly advice to help you get better results in a shorter time and present a range of short workouts, so there is something that works for everyone.
