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:

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).
