Lose Fat Outdoors!

Lose Fat Outdoors!
The weather is finally turned and winter is quickly
becoming a distant memory. If you love the summer and
being outdoors then I'm sure you enjoy this time of year.

The weather however isn't the only thing to change, so is
our wardrobes. As we put away the the winter coats and
bring out the less reveiling summer wear, I'm sure a lot of
us are a bit conscious that we can no longer hide behind
our clothing.

What to do? How to lose those few pounds quickly?

I've mentioned it before....Interval Training! One of my
clients has incorporated interval training twice a week in
to their fitness program and sure enough the body fat has
started to come off. Recently however they've mentioned
how they just don't enjoy being indoors in a sweaty gym
when it's so beatiful outside. That's great! Interval
training outdoors can be a lot of fun, especially if you go
with a friend.

Here are two things you can do:

1) In a park or a quiet road free of traffic, warm up for
5 minutes. Then run as fast as you can for 30 seconds.
You should be breathing very heavy at the end of it and
unable to speak more than a few words.

Next walk for 1 minute, and I mean walk! This is where
most people go wrong, they think it's better to keep
jogging rather than fully recovering; don't make this
mistake, you want your breathing to be back to normal
before starting again. Do this walk run 4 times to start
and add one until you reach 8. Once you've done that then
decrease your walking time by 15 seconds and increase the
running time by 15 seconds.

If you'e doing this with a friend, it's fun to race during
the 30 seconds and have a good chat during the walks.

2) Warm up jogging for 5 minutes. Next choose a lamp post,
tree or some marker that you can sprint to. Go has fast as
you can until you reach it. Then walk until you fully have
your breath back. Do this until you've run for a total of
20 minutes, including with in there your 5 minute warm up
and cool down.

This type of training is a great way of spicing up your
regular interval training.

If you find jogging or running difficult, start of with
walking very quickly.

Have fun!

Remember it's always a good idea to consult your GP prior
to starting a new fitness program
