Interval Training

Research has been released that has shown that a specific style of interval training can burn three times as much weight as regular aerobic exercise.

45 overweight women were studied over 15 weeks, using a stationary bike they cycled for 20 minutes, sprinting for 8 seconds followed by 12 seconds of slower cycling, this was repeated […]

wins, losses and man-boobs

First up I would like to thank panchi and Desi for their comments, with out trying to sound mushy, it really does make me fell that this process is so worthwhile when I get feedback like that. Also I have to agree with panchi, I too find I sleep better after walking at night. I […]

He’s going for distance. He’s going for speed.

After watching an article on the news last night about interval training being superior to other training for fat loss (I will write a post on what interval training is and what it does in the next couple of days) I felt inspired to push myself for my walk. I was feeling pretty good, my knee had settled […]

If I was a horse…

First up apologies for taking a while to post, I had a few technical difficulties during my last attempt. Also a big thank you to MyssC, Nesse and Spike for their comments I really appreciate it!
Damn it, I am lame again, I had a sore knee all yesterday and it was still sore this morning. […]

chest went from - 142 cm / 55.9 inches to 138.5 cm / 54.5 […]

from the mouths of babes…

Thanks for the encouragement Spike!, I certainly felt a bit more energetic on my off day yesterday, and I can empathise with the extra heart activity!
On Sunday and Today I managed to avoid walking in the morning and ended up doing night time walks. I don’t think I can win whether its night or morning. […]

a quick update

I went for my walk on Friday, and I hated it! I was tired and miserable and the walk seemed to be twice as hard as normal. I think a combination of tiredness and soreness had crept up on me and I was feeling worse for it. I am starting to see that for this […]

weighing in on the plan

I went for my walk this morning at 6.15 am and kind of enjoyed it, not completely but almost, it quite shocked me really. I can honestly say that I still don’t like the mornings, but hey it’s only been a week!
Well I finally measured myself, and it has confirmed that I am completely barrel […]

Bloody computers!

Just a quick post as I have only just been able to log on due to some computer issues, I did do some pictures and took down some stats but I will post it all tomorrow as I am now really tired and have a 6.15 am date with my walkers.

Looking a little stupid!?!

I would like to thank you all for your fantastic comments, I am really happy that this process is being used as a motivational tool not only for me but for you as well. Thank you.
I was going to post last night but ended spending most of the night trying to write a couple of […]
