I must try!!!


Lose weight with around
5 minutes of exercise
3 x a week ???

Now there's this new fad -

(new to me but it was discovered in 2005) that

spending an hour in the gym sometimes just

doesn't cut it for some people.

I am one of those "people".




So there's this exercise regime that consists of :

  • 40-60 sec High intensity (if you can go on for 6o seconds that's fine but if you can only go on for 40 seconds thats fine too of the maximum power/speed you can do on the treadmill or on the bike or eliptical machine or aerobics)

followed by:

  • 4 min recovery (time to breathe let your heart rate go down DO NOTHING)

followed by:

  • 45-60 sec High intensity (same thing could be on the treadmill etc.)

followed by:

  • 4 min recovery ( again time to breathe let your heart rate go down DO NOTHING)

followed by:

  • 45-60 sec High intensity (same thing could be on the treadmill etc.)

  • cool down.
I shall try it starting Saturday 29th May 2010....let's see if it's true. Wish me luck

Now I know this sounds crazy but this is according to "IDEA health and fitness association" http://www.ideafit.com/fitness-library/short-burst-training

as well as many scientific studies:
(example)


IMPORTANT***

You need to do it 3x a week because the next day your body needs to rest in order to burn the fat (instead of simply burning calories as normal 30mins of exercise would of).

Hair perfume in a bottle...


Now, I'm not blogging about this wonderful perfume that's for hair I'm going to blog about this much acclaimed Shampoo...known for it's mesmerizing adverts of women washing their hair in the shower and are overwhelmed by the wonderful fragrances.


I'm talking about Herbal Essence.


It smells great ....while you're in the shower lathering.
It simply doesn't last sadly.

And for what it's worth, it is the worst shampoo/ conditioner on the Saudi market at getting my unruly dry hair smooth.
Now if you're shaking your oily/normal haired head saying no then you have no room to speak LOL because dry hair is my target....not many of us were blessed with shiny asian-like hair from birth.

So NO.

NO to Herbal Essence...it can collect dust on my shelf I'm not using it on my hair.
