30-minute BLAST!

30-minute personal training sessions have become over the last few years more attractive and popular for various reasons. These workouts can help clients burn fat and build strength with a significantly shorter time commitment.

Previously a client asked me when she first started personal training sessions, if it would be possible to split the session into two as she wasn’t confident her current fitness state was enough to cope with a full hour. What was evident within a few sessions was that these 30 minute sessions were in fact more intense working on the main factor that we knew we had less time to work with.

Does this mean that the session was rushed and non beneficial? Quite the opposite, actually. Short metabolic training sessions demand intense output with minimal rest, which means that even though the workout might only last 30 minutes, they’ll undoubtedly work twice as hard than if it lasted 60-minutes. There won’t be any time for socialising and conversing about how the day has gone. Everything will be precisely timed and your client will be 100% motivated and focused on the task at hand.

There has been significant research that shows that sessions lasting longer than 60-minutes can have negative effects on your hormone levels, with elevated Cortisol (stress hormone) and subsequent suppression of your anabolic hormones. Both of these effects are the exact opposite to what most gym users are looking to achieve – reduction in body fat and maintenance of or increase in muscle mass.

Do you feel your fitness levels are low and you demand shorter, gentle sessions to start with? Are you feeling your lifestyle is so hectic you require short intense blasts, or generally looking towards finance and wanting 30-minutes weekly alone?! Feeling motivated and interested to add towards your current 60-minute session for that extra added boost, experiencing personal training more than once a week which undoubtably increases the chance of you reaching your goals?! Then 30-minute sessions can be for you!
