Dear David,
Lost 3 pounds on the detox but I have to admit it was hard going. I could have cried with happiness when I had my chocolate shake this morning. Tonight I am back into the exercise and am continuing with the HIIT - High Intensity Interval training. I am doing Tabata Training. Tabata Training was developed by Izumi Tabata (imagine that) at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo, Japan. They did a study on comparing the effects of moderate intensity endurance(aerobics) and high endurance intermittent training(tabata training intervals) on VO2 max and anerobic capacity.
To cut to the results of the study: the moderate intensity group training program produced a significant increase in VO2 max of about 10%, but had no effect on anaerobic capacity. The high intensity group improved their VO2 max by about 14% while anaerobic capacity improved by 28%. The study was done over a six week period. Both groups working out 5 days per week.
It supposed to keep your metabolism burning for 36 hours after you complete a workout. It's great when you are pushed for time and you need to do something quick that's really effective. I am doing it on Mabel the cross trainer for the moment but I would like to introduce some weights into it. I have grabbed a video on YouTube of Tabata training with dumbbells.
25 pounds down now and nearly got rid of another lady. I am off to Tabata on Mabel. Off work tomorrow and really looking forward to not getting up at 5.45am.

Every year I make New Year's Resolutions that I end up breaking. However, this year is not the Chinese year of the Rabbit but the year of the bridesmaid. My baby sister is getting married on New Year's Eve this year and I have no intention of being a fat bridesmaid (again). I need to lose 5 stone 11 pounds or 81 pounds. I will be doing the Ultimate New York Body Plan devised by celebrated trainer and wellness guru to the stars, David Kirsch. David, it's just you and me!
