Short Session Benefits in Health and Finances

Using time under tension (TUT) as a metric in resistance training is a valuable approach, both in terms of optimizing results and saving time. Rather than counting the number of repetitions or total duration of a workout session, TUT can be customized to individual fitness levels and goals, making it a viable training metric for a wide range of people.

Here's why it makes financial sense and deliver results:

• Efficiency: By focusing on TUT, individuals can achieve a high level of muscle activation that causes positive adaptation in a shorter amount of time compared to traditional approaches.
• Targeted Progression: TUT allows for more precise control over the intensity of a workout as volitional failure marks the end point.
• Reduced Risk of Injury: By controlling the tempo and focusing on the time under tension, individuals can focus on form.
• Variety and Adaptation: Incorporating TUT into a training regimen adds variety and challenges the musculoskeletal system in different ways stimulating continuous adaptational response.
