  This Type of Workout Builds Muscle and Burns Fat in Less Time, New Study Shows Think long, slow strength sessions are the only way to build muscle and burn fat? Think again. A new study suggests that  high-intensity circuit training —which combines multiple strength exercises into shorter, faster-paced sessions with minimal rest—can be just as effective as traditional weight training when it comes to building strength, gaining muscle, and losing fat. The research, led by Women’s Health cover star Sohee Carpenter, PhDc, CSCS, offers valuable insights for anyone short on time or looking to shake up their workout routine. What the Study Found Published in the  European Journal of Sport Science , the study followed 14 active women in their 20s and 30s over an eight-week period.

Both groups performed the same six exercises: Leg press Dumbbell bench pre...

ANOTHER LIE THAT BIG CORPORATIONS FED US!

  From Diet Culture to Deadlifts: How Casey Johnston Reclaimed Her Strength For years, Casey Johnston followed every so-called “rule” of health and fitness. She logged miles of running, meticulously counted calories, and treated food like the enemy—all in the name of control. To the outside world, she looked like the picture of discipline. But internally, she was locked in a constant battle with her body. “It was antagonistic,” she recalls. “I was always fighting myself.” That battle didn’t make her stronger—it made her weaker. What began as a practical shift away from obsessive cardio and restriction grew into something much deeper—a radical redefinition of what it means to be strong. For Johnston, strength training wasn’t just about muscle; it was about reclaiming her body, her time, and her voice. From Punishment to Empowerment Before lifting, Johnston’s relationship with exercise was rooted in punishment. She didn’t work out because she loved it—she did it because she felt she...

SAY WHAT? AN HOUR A WEEK?

  Build Muscle in Just 30 Minutes, Twice a Week—According to New Research Think you need to spend hours in the gym to build muscle? New research says otherwise. A recent study found that lifting weights for just 30 minutes, two times a week, can lead to noticeable gains in muscle mass and strength—even if the workout is simple. Over the past few years, a growing body of research has highlighted the importance of strength training for overall health. Now, a new study published in  Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise  shows that you don’t need a grueling daily routine to see results. In fact, brief, consistent workouts can be highly effective. What the Study Found In this study, 42 healthy men and women followed a resistance training program for eight weeks. They performed one set of 8–10 reps for each of nine exercises targeting major muscle groups. Each 30-minute session was done twice a week. Some participants trained to failure (lifting until they couldn't c...

ARE YOU TRAINING TO MUCH?

  New Study Says You May Be Overtraining — Here's How Many Sets You Really Need for Muscle and Strength If your idea of a productive workout involves cranking out set after set until failure, new research might convince you to ease up—and still see results. A new  meta-analysis , covered by  Men’s Health , suggests that  you might need far fewer sets per workout session than previously thought  to build both muscle and strength. The research, which has yet to be peer-reviewed, analyzed data from  67 studies  involving over  2,000 participants  to determine the optimal training volume for muscle growth (hypertrophy) and strength gains. Less Can Be More: 11 Sets for Muscle Growth When it comes to hypertrophy, the study found that  around 11 sets per muscle group per session  is the sweet spot for most people. Pushing beyond that point offers little additional benefit—and could even hinder recovery and progress if overdone. These aren’...
