5 Must-Know Fitness Tips of 2025… All Backed by Science!!!
- You Only Need to Lift a Few Heavy Sets for Muscle Growth. Studies showed that people can build strength and grow muscle by increasing their number of sets, but only up to a point. In fact, strength gains plateaued after just two direct sets, which target a specific muscle. This finding adds to increasing evidence that fewer sets of heavier weight can build strength over time. After a few hard sets, any more leads to minimal gains and far greater muscle fatigue and recovery time.
- Looking to Lose Weight and Build Muscle? Try Weights Before Cardio. One study set out to answer the age-old debate of whether you should do cardio or weights first at the gym. Researchers split 45 men into different workout groups, and after three months of training, the men who lifted before doing cardio had better muscle power and endurance, as well as lower body fat. The idea is that doing cardio first can drain your body’s energy, making it harder to give your full effort during strength training.
- Just One Hour of Weight Lifting Per Week Is Enough to Build Muscle. Studies show weight lifting for an hour each week, or specifically, two 30-minute sessions, led to noticeable improvements in muscle size and strength after two months. Building on previous research, the study shows you don’t need to live at the gym to become stronger. The findings should encourage people to try strength training, which offers a host of benefits for your muscles, heart, and more.
- Use the Sitting-Rising To Test Gauge Where You’re At. A study of over 4,200 middle-aged and older adults found that completing the sitting-rising test was a marker of longer lifespan and longevity. The goal of the fitness test is to sit down and then stand back up using as little assistance (a hand or knee, for example) as possible. If you’re unable to complete the sitting-rising test, experts said that’s an indicator you may need to work on non-aerobic fitness, including balance, flexibility, muscle strength, or range of motion.
- Morning Workouts May Be Superior for Heart and Lung Health. The time of day when you exercise can actually affect your health. Researchers found that those who were most active in the morning had better heart and lung function. Experts think our bodies’ internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm, may explain this link. The study also noted that people who exercised at the same time each day had better overall health, too.
