Hi there.

I’ve got a little secret for you… I’m over in California right now,
almost melting in the heat.

But it’s not a holiday, before you ask. No, I’m working. You see, one
of the things I do to make sure everything we do at NuBeginnings weight loss retreat is as
good as it can be, is research.

Here’s an example.

A short while ago I briefly mentioned “interval training” – where you
vary the intensity of your exercise within the exercise period.

And this approach is supported by proper research. Way back in the
1990s Izumi Tabata, discovered what’s known as The Tabata Protocol -
it’s quite simply the most effective fat-burning workout anyone has
ever found.

But, as you’d expect, it’s not easy (and if you’re not exercising at
high intensity now, then start off more gently and work your way up).

The original Protocol looked like this:

     1. A 5 minutes’ warm-up
     2. Then 8 intervals of 20 seconds FULL intensity
        exercise followed by just 10 seconds of rest
     3. Finally 2 minutes’ cooling down

I repeat… don’t start out trying to do this. Even if you don’t hurt
yourself or make yourself physically ill, you’re going to find it MUCH
harder than it looks written down here.

Now, I am not going to suggest you EVER follow the Tabata protocol
exactly, simply because the people in the original study were already
high-performance athletes.

But what I AM going to do in my next post is share with you a very
powerful and GRADUALLY increasing interval-training regime that I use
to accelerate my weight-loss without spending hours and hours in the
gym.
