Week 3 - lose weight

I know I havent been blogging in awhile...but here I am with an update. I'm in my third week (won't finish till wednesday 23-6-2010 so one more day) I've lost 3 kilos!!

Al7amdellah..*positive thinking people!!!*

I can't to finish as a complete month. I think I will continue this for awhile as I plan to lose 7 more kilos and I will inshallah :D It's still quite tiring, I feel so healthy now though....got my heart racing type of exercise is much better than my previous workouts.
I used to spend 40 mins 5x a week for a month and barely lost a kilo!!! I was mortified.

Wohooooooooooo, girls try it!

Week 1: Lose Weight

Now, I've tried that for a week...and I must say it's tiring!! wow I never imagined exercising for just one minute every 4 minutes of break would be so tiring it's great! I never used to feel half as tired while working out for 40 mins! This seems that it might work...going to do it again today (Saturday) then Monday then Wednesday...wish me luck! :D

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).
