    • Is skipping a good form of exercise to lose weight? Currently jump 500 times everyday except sat & sun is rest day. On top of that also have HITT on mon, wed & fri and jogging tue & thru. Jogging is just few rounds only, don't want to stress up my legs.

      Me now height 1.73 weight is 92kg. Goal is to lose weight till 80kg 1st.

      With this training is it possible to slim down?cry.png

      Thanks for answering my question..

    • If I were you, I'd go for a cardio intensive program - running, swimming and I'd top it up with some weight training.

      Diet too, plays an important role. High protein, less carbo!

    • No weights around somemore don't want to spend money on gym. Swimming might be optional. Intend to plan 1st week HIIT+skipping & 2nd week will be swimming.smile.png

      Yeah, me also watch out on diet, no rice,noodles etc... Only can eat white meat.

    • Something that i saw on hwz forum, taken from Ross website, that you could try

       

      This workout will take exactly 10 minutes to complete. There is no rest until you have finished the entire 10 minute circuit. The workout begins with a 60 second interval of each exercise. You then move immediately to a 45 second interval, then 30 seconds, and finally 15 seconds.

      No Excuses Workout

      First Round

      * Burpees x 60 seconds
      * Pull-ups x 60 seconds
      * Squats x 60 seconds
      * Pushups x 60 seconds

      Second Round

      * Burpees x 45 seconds
      * Pull-ups x 45 seconds
      * Squats x 45 seconds
      * Pushups x 45 seconds

      Third Round

      * Burpees x 30 seconds
      * Pull-ups x 30 seconds
      * Squats x 30 seconds
      * Pushups x 30 seconds

      Fourth Round

      * Burpees x 15 seconds
      * Pull-ups x 15 seconds
      * Squats x 15 seconds
      * Pushups x 15 second

       

      The average deconditioned person will struggle beyond 3rd set. So for the 4th set can give and take.

      You could try doing with the girls version first, the one where your legs touch the ground. Then try to improve from there

      Once you start doing, you won't find it funny.

      Normally schools or HDB areas got... Best of all, it's free!

      Eagle, I scan my area already..No such chin-ups bar around my area. I think I still carry on with the HITT+skipping routine.

    • If you are doing HIIT correctly, you do too much HIIT. I doubt you can sustain that long...

      Maybe you could jog to a nearby park or place with a chin up bar and do?

    • Yup my HITT is sprinting, sprint 30sec & rest 1 minute. Total do 3 to 4 sets by the 5th already give up. Anyway HITT is alt days ma so not much worries about lower body.

      After HITT will do few sets of crunches & burpees too.sunglasses.png
