Gotcha.

An 11-minute workout can help you burn fat all day long, say researchers from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. In the study, people who lifted weights for that duration three times per week increased their metabolic rate — even as they slept.

“The process of breaking down and repairing your muscles increases your metabolism,” says study author Dr. Erik Kirk, Ph.D. What’s more, the participants were able to fit their workouts into their schedules 96% of the time.
