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).
