Putting the Weee in your Weight Loss Program


All week long I've been talking about the exercise program that I stole out of a Prevention magazine and how much it's helping me not only lose weight but get in shape.  I saved the most important part of the workout for last, I guess you could say the whole program would be nothing without it. 

Like I've said before my exercise program has 3 parts; cardio, strength and interval.  The interval part is what I had never heard of and had to go research because I just didn't believe it.  An interval workout tricks your body into burning calories for 24 to 48 hours after you're done with your workout.  Sounds too good to be true right? 

Well, it's a reality.  You can hack your body this way and boost your weight loss.  So what is this magical program you may ask?


That is really the best way to explain it to you.  Just put it right out for you.  Basically you're alternating between 3 exercises and heart rates.  By doing this you can optimize you're weight loss.  But don't think this is easy, because it's not.  I'm not even able to do the jumping jacks at all (big busted) so I just circle back around to the other parts.

I even have an app that I'm able to enter my interval workout into so that it can keep track and tell me when to change up.  I have an android phone and the app is called "A Hiit Counter".  That is not a mistype the name is "A Hiit Counter".

Well, today was the end of the fitness routine posts.  I hope I've helped some others out there.  Tomorrow is week 3 weigh in and I'm looking forward to posting my results.

Oh, by the way, I'm not a licensed doctor or fitness instructor, please talk to your doctor before beginning any new workout routine (phew).

  1. That sounds like a good weight loss plan! You also clearly explain the idea of interval workout. It is usually an interval of high intensity, calorie burning workouts, which alternate between high energy and recovery intervals. It’s a good exercise for all ages, and you can do this by your own. But for this exercise to work, it should be done with proper diet and supplement intake. Eating the right food, especially food that can hasten your metabolic rate can up your chances of weight loss.
