120Let’s say you meet a new person at a party this weekend.Isn’t it interesting how you might say, “What do you do?” and they might reply, “I’m a marketing manager,” but if you dig — if you really connect — you might discover that they lived in Kenya for two years, they started a non-profit, and they’re getting their scuba certification?How often does that happen…vs. us just saying, “Oh, cool. Well, I’m going to get some celery…bye!I always admired people who had weird, fascinating backgrounds. For example, in college, one of my professors was a nuclear risk analyst before she became a psychiatrist specializing in trauma. She could make connections that the rest of us couldn’t even fathom.I decided to study a totally interdisciplinary set of courses, including psychology, decision-making, con men, deception, magic, seduction, risk, and human-computer interaction

If you are starting off with ZERO times per week, some say to start with ONE time per week, which is great. However, if you decide to only resistance train ONCE and you go ALL OUT, then you are probably going to be sore for 5 days.My suggestion is you lift 4 days a week, even starting out, BUT only do a few minutes. Do 4, 10-minute metabolic resistance workouts, like THESE for the first couple of weeks, THEN increase your weight and workout time.Click HERE to receive one FREE metabolic resistance training workout video every week.2.)    Circuit and Interval Programs for EfficiencyI don’t know about you, but I value my time dearly.

Schedules are one of the main reasons why adults don’t exercise, but new research suggests that high intensity interval training (HIIT) can be a time saving alternative to endurance training. HIIT means doing a number of short bursts of intense exercises with short recovery breaks in between. Along with being more time efficient, HIIT is also a safe alternative to traditional types of long-term exercise.Get HIITSeveral research studies including Canada’s McMaster University indicate that HIIT stimulates many of the same cellular pathways that are responsible for the beneficial effects associated with endurance training and increase skeletal muscle oxidative capacity (how efficiently muscles use oxygen).

Train less, achieve more: The Benefits of HIIT Training November 12, 2013Blog, Fitness Samantha Whitaker trials Hiitgirl – a 30-minute workout that’s the equivalent of more than two hours’ traditional exerciseHiitgirl, as you may have guessed, is high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for girls. HIIT is really having a moment – and here’s why: alternating bursts of intense, anaerobic exercise with short periods of recovery provides the same benefits as hours of cardio in just a fraction of the time (a study at Canada’s McMaster University confirmed that 2.5 hours of HIIT training provides the same benefits as 10.5 hours of slow cardio). HIIT also raises your resting metabolic rate for up to 24 hours after exercising, and significantly improves your VO2 max (the maximum amount of oxygen that can be taken in during an exercise session) – in other words, your endurance and stamina. What’s more, constantly switching between exercises challenges different muscle groups in turn, so that none suffer too much from wear and tear.Hiitgirl founder Susan Dyson launched her 30-minute sessions in Harrogate, and has just opened her first studio in Crouch End. It’s a beauty: cosy but contemporary with (mostly pink) modern equipment, incense candles burning and words of encouragement on the walls.

It’s 12pm and I’m having my first meal. Not because I’m too busy to eat, hate breakfast, or I want to slow down my metabolism. It’s all part of the master plan I used to drop the most weight I EVER HAVE while maintaining the same body fat in only 30 days. Why did I do it? I told one of my old (young) college professors I would beat her in a half marathon, and in order to increase my speed I had to be lighter on my feet, which means dropping some serious LBS.
