The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason Sam.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Thanks for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast. Today. We're
talking about this new study out that says you can
get health benefits from exercising just six seconds at a time.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Okay, six seconds at a time, but how many six
seconds is are we talking?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
You'd have to do many old mini intervals, right, you'd
have to yeah, keeps the reputation of that six.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Seconds can actually be a longer than you think. Just
like when you do twenty seconds or thirty seconds in
a circuit, you're like, oh, if you're doing a prone
hold or something.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah, oh you're right, yeah, forty five they's supposed to
be like forty five seconds of work and then off.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Well, that's a lot of time seconds of boxing, like constantly,
like you think one and two and then you stop
and then new six stop.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
You only have to look at the best bodies in
the world to know that all you have to do
is six seconds.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Do you reckon this?

Speaker 3 (00:52):
True?

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Look, I've got two theories on this. My first theory
is the whole word is gravitating to try and work
out a way through the least amount of input in
the entire world, which blows me away. But I think
if you look at a sprinter there a whole event
is ten seconds and they are the must as strong
as people will and they train that way.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
No they don't. They don't just train.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Everything they do is anvorce.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Training park. And I don't believe.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
I know some people that have a three minute duration
for everything they do.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Oh sure, rockets do another you're talking about my love
making again, do you know? Tony Robins is another another
person that kind of believes in this theory. If you've
ever seen Tony Robins workout strategy, he does absolute max holts.
So he goes out and he goes here's a massive weight.

(01:49):
It's a weight that he can't lift. So he'll get
on a bench press machine and that weight will fail
and it will be a negative rap. So it's so
heavy he can't lift it. But it's six seq. I
don't know how long it does for, but it comes
down and he's failing that whole time. And then and
then someone lifts.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
The bar off it and then he breaks his leg.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Same thing with the leg press. You load up into
like it's basically a car on it, and then it
slowly crushes you for six seconds and then he's out
the gym mate.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Delightful.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Yeah, But look what I'm saying is I do think
the world gravitates to the easiest part. They're always looking
to do their entire workout and six seconds. But I
think there is just a little bit of method to
the man.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
I think. So what about saying I was trying to think,
what are the exercises you did for six seconds? Count
me down six seconds for six.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Seconds one thousand and one, one thousand and two, one
thousand and three, one thousand and four, one thousand and five,
one thousand and six. Now Tony that was better, has
done six hip thrusters there, did.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Some squats, some speed squats. Now there's six seconds. I
was almost about to puff then, And if I did
that multiple times in six second verse, I reckon that
would be beneficial to me.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
That's good.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Are they talking about the entire workout though?

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Being six See that you get rather thrashing yourself for
thirty to forty seconds for six seconds, then stop another
six seconds, then stop another six seconds and stop.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
That's pretty much how I train. Now when you seconds, well,
when you look at that point that you're having absolute failure.
If you started counting from the point that you're having
absolute failure, it would be about six seconds.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
You're right there.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
You go. So so don't you dare go for an hour?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Run today?

Speaker 3 (03:24):
You run for six seconds? Stop walk walkie. It doesn't
runuky walkie walk.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
You need to add resistance.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
You have that interval training is good.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
You have to push a car for six seconds?

Speaker 3 (03:37):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Wouldn't its intensity or it's volume? And if you if
you can increase your intensity to the point that it's
at you're absolute exhausted and six seconds, then that you've
done your job.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Remember that time we spoke to the guy who trains
the superheroes like Ryan Reynolds and a lot of the
other Marvel character.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
As well.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Lively as well, right exactly. He says that the one
thing you do is to carry something. Walk around the blocks,
carry something for six seconds. You're carrying something for six seconds.
We just cracked it, guys, carry jas for come here.
