Workouts designed to get you fit, fast
Slim During Sleep
Feb 18th
Weight problems can stem through late nights, even insomnia. During 11.00 – 1.00 pm the body produces collagen for the skin so it is the ideal time to put regenerative creams on the skin. What is also important is the exact time you go to bed. After 1.00 pm, the body produces ghelin (the hunger hormone). During sleep, obviously this hormone is satisfied and does not need to come out to play.
Midnight snacking is simply too much ghelin secretion, which causes a person to overeat. This can lead to weight gain. Try getting into a regular pattern of going to bed around 11.00 – 12.00pm and your body will slim during sleep, the body is able to maintain health, boost collagen, burn calories at rest, and the body will wake up refreshed, with plumper skin, the brain is revitalised, and the body will be hungry and crave breakfast, another slimmers secret.
Foods to help you sleep are those rich in carbohydrates, hot milk, lettuce. Avoid overstimulation like too much TV, computer games, or loud music. Have a warm bath, burn candles and incense, and use relaxing aromatherapy oils to aid sleep. Lavender oil is perfect.
Lose Weight with Boxing Training
Feb 10th
Aint’ it strange that you can never really notice weight loss in yourself until someone else spots it. A couple of weeks ago a person I hadn’t seen in years told me I had lost weight. The same day, a girl at the gym asked me if I had lost weight. Of course, I have been doing my usual weight training and skipping workouts and much less spinning. It’s so strange. Then I weighed myself at weekend and found that I had put half a stone on.
So perhaps I’ve added a lot of muscle tissue, which obviously weighs more than fat, although I have a fairly athletic build, but I don’t think I have added seven pounds of muscle. That is way too much.
Anyhow, I need something quick to get me fit and I’m now attending boxing training twice a week, body pump once a week and body combat once a week. That’s enough for me. I’m already aching after my gym session last night and boxing training tonight.
If you’re serious about conditioning your body, I would highly recommend boxing training. The hour and a half session started off with skipping. I used a weighted rope, which makes it a little harder but tones the shoulders nicely. Then there were sprints on the spot, high jumps, press-ups, burpees, star jumps, and sit-ups. Then it was out into the nippy air for a mile and half job followed by tiring two minute heavy bag punches non-stop. Sit ups and press-ups followed, then knees up throwing shots at the bag thirty seconds, heavy blows for half a minute, and alternate punches for a final thirty seconds. Two sets of these were performed.
Finally the last twenty minutes contained some seriously hard body weight training, some of which I coudn’t do (throw your body off the floor press-ups) but at least I tried but almost splatted my nose on the carpet. More tough sit-ups followed and then it was a stretch and warm down.
I am not sure what attracts me to hard training such as this but I know that the pain is worth it in fitness and the positive changes it gives to the body. Even my punching power has gained in strength and I am able to keep my guard up. I have big respect for boxers. I struggled throwing punches for just two minutes, let alone twelve rounds of three minutes.
