Description

¿Sabías que 20 minutos de cardio al día es suficiente para obtener los máximos beneficios de salud?

Cada semana, millones de estadounidenses modifican su rutina de ejercicio gracias a la columna de Gretchen Reynolds, una de las más leídas de The New York Times. Este libro, informativo y entretenido, deja al descubierto los avances científicos más recientes sobre salud y entrenamiento físico, a la vez que echa por tierra las ideas arraigadas en torno al deporte y estimula el debate alrededor de la ciencia del ejercicio.
 
Luego de consultar a expertos en fisiología, biología, psicología, neurología y deporte, la autora nos explica con qué frecuencia debemos ejercitarnos, cuánto deben durar los entrenamientos, cómo evitar lastimarnos y cómo encontrar la rutina ideal para alcanzar nuestros objetivos. Entre los muchos hallazgos incluidos en este libro se encuentran:

• Por qué estirarse es malo y por qué calentar es bueno.

• Por qué caminar mejora tu memoria y por qué ejercitarte te pone
de buen humor.

• Por qué es mejor tomar agua —sólo agua— antes y después del ejercicio, pero jamás durante.

• Por qué la leche con chocolate es mejor que el Gatorade para recuperarte después de hacer deporte.

• Por qué una dieta promedio, saludable, es lo único que necesitas.

• Por qué perder peso y mantenerse es más difícil para las mujeres que para los hombres.

• Por qué el ibuprofeno debilita tu cuerpo para el ejercicio.
 
Ya sea que estés por correr un ultra maratón o que sólo quieras subir las escaleras sin perder el aliento, Los primeros 20 minutos te enseñará cómo tener hoy una vida más saludable y cómo entrenar mejor el día de mañana.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The New York Times bestseller that explains how groundbreaking scientific discoveries can help each of us achieve our personal best.
 
Every week, Gretchen Reynolds single-handedly influences how millions of Americans work out. In her popular New York Times column, she debunks myths, spurs conversation, and stirs controversy by questioning widely held beliefs about exercise.
 
Here, Reynolds consults experts in a range of fields to share paradigm-shifting findings that were previously only available in academic and medical journals, including:
 
·        20 minutes of cardio is all you need (and sometimes six minutes is enough)

·        Stretching before a workout is counterproductive

·        Chocolate milk is better than Gatorade for recovery
 
Whether you’re running ultramarathons or just want to climb the stairs without losing your breath, The First 20 Minutes will show you how to be healthy today and perform better tomorrow.
