Summary
CAROL Bike sponsored this podcast.
IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™ … you’ll learn about new research that’s pinpointing the most effective cardio workouts. You’ll find out that you can do a cardio workout in just 15 minutes a week and still increase your cardiovascular fitness. You’ll also get an introduction to the new CAROL Bike 2.0 and its upgraded great features.
Ulrich Dempfle, MBA, Chief Product Officer, CEO and co-founder of CAROL Bike, returns to the podcast with exciting new research results. CAROL’s REHIT (Reduced Exertion HIIT) workout retained all its effectiveness yet cut its time nearly in half—from 8 minutes and 40 seconds to five minutes.
CAROL Bike continues to innovate fitness and prove that more or longer sprints aren’t better. “What matters is that you sprint at your personalized maximum intensity, switching from zero to max in a fraction of a second,” Ulrich explains. An investment of only 5 minutes, 3 times a week means you can reap powerful cardiovascular benefits, even gain strength, and get on with your other biohacks.
