While it is unlikely to look like Ralph Fiennes, a new Australian study found that only five minutes of daily body weight exercises focus on eccentric movements, where muscles last the heart, they cannot float.

The routine included the squats of the chair (such as a regular squat, but a chair provides support), reclines the chair (hire the nucleus while leaning back), push of the wall (use the wall instead of the floor) and the heel dropping the balls of the theme of the feet of the feet).

The exercises were carried out slowly to maximize muscle commitment.

While “no significant changes in body composition were observed, resting heart rate [or] Blood pressure “, this easy set” improved significantly [the] Physical aptitude and mental health “or 22 healthy but sedentary” participants of approximately four weeks, the study authors recently wrote in the European Journal of Applied Physiology.

“The results stressed that eccentric exercises are very effective in improving physical aptitude,” said principal author Ken Nosaka, director of Exercise Sciences and Sports of the Edith Cowan University.

“This type of exercise is also more accessible to most people, since it makes use of body weight and eliminates the need to go to a gym. Eccentric exercises can also be extended the day, which makes it more attainable for those who have passed.”

It is the latest in a growing body of research that shows that the easiest training in the world is better than anything.

For example, a recent study found that only 150 minutes of moderate physical activity, which includes yoga, gardening, a fast walk or even dance, per week can reduce its risk of early death by up to 31%.

A 2024 study suggests doing the exercises described above before the bed can give it 30 additional sleep minutes.

So, if you feel lazy, try this five -minute training that your body can thank you.
