Time Under Tension
Time under tension (TUT) workouts are one of my most-loved online fitness classes! TUT workouts offer several benefits, including:
- **Muscle Building and Endurance** Increasing TUT by lifting moderate weights can help recruit slow-twitch muscle fibers, improve endurance, and promote muscle growth.
- **Improved Muscle Tone** Slowing down movements during resistance training challenges muscles without using momentum, enhancing muscle tone.
- **Enhanced Form and Control** TUT workouts force you to slow down each exercise, improving form, control, and potentially leading to muscle growth and strength gains.
- **Metabolic Benefits** TUT can increase muscle growth and provide metabolic benefits post-workout.
- **Injury Prevention** Higher TUT can help prevent injuries caused by poor form or lifting too much weight too soon.
It’s essential to gradually incorporate TUT into your workout routine, focusing on proper form and gradually increasing intensity over time for optimal results.
This is not medical advice. If you have undiagnosed pain or are new to exercise, always consult a healthcare professional before starting this or any new program.
