Less exercise, more results?

I was waiting at the checkout stand looking at  the magazine “First for women” because it has a lot of health information. On the cover it says “Walk off 20 lbs in a week!  (Ha Ha, I don’t believe that, but it got my attention).  

Next it said:  “News!  20-second bursts can work better than long and steady.  Lose Big in just 30 minutes a week!  

Who doesn’t want to have their exercise plan take only 30 minutes a week?  So, of course, I bought the magazine.

What is a 20 second burst, I wondered, how does it work.  I lost 48 pounds by using a wonderful system of eating without exercising.  And while a feel tons better, I know that I need to exercise.  I don’t have the stamina I want.  I know adding exercise will do that for me.  Could this be another plan to add to my short exercise routines.

You can read the whole article in the September 10th issue of First magazine to get all the details including mag_2the science behind it and a variety of exercises that will work.

It has been found that doing a ten minute workout three times a week that involves three 20 second microbursts of high intensity exercise works as good as a 50 minute jog for melting fat and reving metabolism etc.

CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING THIS PLAN

One example is walking.  stroll leisurely for 2 minutes, then walk briskly or jog for 20 seconds.  walk gently for 2 minutes, Do another microburst, walk gently for 2 minutes and do a third micro burst walk for gently for  2 minutes then add a 2 minute cool down.  

According to the article this exercise plan has helped many people with their health and weight goals.  I’m going to give it a try.

I’ll let you know in a couple of weeks if my energy has gone through the roof, if I sleep better, If I have more stamina etc.

I’d love to hear from anyone else that tries it out!  Just comment below!
