If you don’t drink alcohol, or are simply taking a break from booze (a la “Drynuary”), you should still treat yourself to some wildly delicious, cozy beverages this winter.

After 6 weeks of training, the subjects doing the intervals had lost more fat. READ: 4-6 30-second sprints burns more fat than 60 minutes of incline treadmill walking. (University of Western Ontario)Additionally, there are a handful of reliable studies (by Laval University, East Tennessee State University, Baylor College of Medicine, and the University of New South Wales) that also prove that shorter, high-intensity cardio sessions result in greater fat loss over time than longer, low-intensity sessions.Woo-hoo!

It is a workout method that alternates maximum effort “work” intervals with low-intensity “rest” intervals.You can structure almost any activity into a HIIT workout, including running, cycling, swimming, rowing, walking, bodyweight movements, and even weightlifting.What are the Benefits of HIIT? HIIT is more effective than steady-state cardio for weight loss. HIIT induces the “afterburn effect” post-workout, meaning that you continue to burn calories from your workout up to a few hours after you are done.

Did you also go totally over the top with food and drinks during the holiday season? Many people did and then made a new years resolution to clean up their life style. The ambition to lose weight, stop smoking and drinking, start running and become the Mr or Ms Beach of the Year is as high as Mount Everest. At least until around now, mid-Jan, when reality hits and getting up earlier to prepare a healthy breakfast or getting out the door for a long walk or hitting the gym suddenly seems harder than climbing Mount Everest. Suddenly the extra time people found in the first half of January is gone again and before we’re into February most people are back to old habits.Any surprises here
