Several research papers indicate that training shorter but with higher intensity bursts might be the way forward if you want to improve you health and fitness.
Below a copy for an article from the Irish Times at the weekend (it was in one of supplement magazines at the weekend )
The benefits:
You might start of with a watered down version of the HIIT style (High Intensity Interval Training) or Tabata style training if you are just starting to exercises, as the professional recommend HIIT or Tabata mainly to individuals who have a reasonable good level of fitness, as this type of training might increase the risk of injury among untrained people.
Your body super-compensates during adequate recovery and if kept up over weeks and months your fitness will improve enormously.
Our Circuit Training, Interval Training and Bootcamp Classes in South Dublin (Dublin 14, 16, 18) are a slight variations of the above mentioned methods – adjusted for those who aim mainly for toning, weight loss and general fitness.

We are restarting our Men Only Pilates, Core Strength and Flexibility Combination class 12th and 14th March 2012The classes combine:
1. Core Strength Exercises e.g. variations of Planks, Side Bends, Back Extensions etc.
2. Pilates Exercises e.g. Hundred, Scissors, Leg Lifts, Roll Up, Roll Back, The Crab, Shoulder Bridge etc.
3. Flexibility – Stretching
I incorporate various stretches into the class for e.g. hamstrings – lower and mid back, the shoulder, neck area etc.. You learn how to stretch in an effective and efficient way, loosen muscles via a foam roller (see picture above), release tension via the use of e.g. a tennis ball and various other small equipment.
A lot of men lack flexibility and mobility, carry tension in the shoulder, neck and lower back area, which occasionally prevents them from performing daily activity due to pain and discomfort.
Individuals who are involved in sport, especially competitive sport should do a regular core strength, flexibility and mobility routine to prevent injuries or speed up recover.
We just added two new exercise classes to our fitness class time table of our Fitnecise Studio in South Dublin – Nutgrove Rathfarnham.

Everybody was challenged during this morning Legs, Bums, Tums Fitness Classes. I changed the format slightly, we did all the same exercise together – in a row format, see studio fitness class picture.
Feedback -> “INTENSITY is definitely higher” – “this class format is more challenging” – “I really enjoyed it”.
Here the list of exercises from today’s fitness class, this might give you some ideas what you could do yourself.
We threw a few Pilates exercises in to take a breather in between.
Our next set of
which run in 6-8 week block start in two and a half week. Classes take place in our Fitnecise Studio in Dublin 14, 16 / Rathfarnham and in Loreto Park, beside Nutgrove Shopping Centre.
We run various Fitness and Exercise Classes (see Class Time Table here) e.g.:

WELL DONE to all the class participants of this mornings Toning and Conditioning class 9.45am-10.45am in our Fitnecise Studio in South Dublin, Nutgrove Office Park.
The class was Circuit Training based – you see equipment like – TRX Suspension Training, Rowing Machine – Concept 2 Rower, Weights, Kettlebells, Gym/Swiss Balls, Gymsticks etc.
We aim to keep the classes varied and mix toning / strength exercises and cardio / general fitness exercises and nearly all class exercise are different from week to week.
Here the exercises we did this morning:
…… people should choose with their feet and just NOT GO anymore to FAST FOOD chains – PERIOD, no matter whether they are called McDonalds, Burger King, Super Macs or similar.
It’s all about EDUCATION EDUCATION and again EDUCATION and then taking
MASSIVE ACTION, eating – fresh / unprocessed food (organic if you can or
want to afford it). It’s all “relative” simple – it is like Nike says “Just Do It!”.
People have to wake up – take responsibility – it’s each individuals responsibility to
look after his or her health as best as they can …. you can’t always blame others
and let every tax payer fork out money for a health system that pays “god knows”
how much for the effects or perfectly preventable diseases.
Yes, some diseases are more likely genetic and probably hard to prevent, but obesity/body weight is in most cases something that every individual can control.
I hear it every day – clients come up with excuses why they can’t, won’t or are not able to exercises – chose veg and fruit over burgers and fries etc., we all have 24 hours in our day and each of us decides what she/he does with these 24 hours.
Take your diary out now and pencil in a reminder every e.g. Monday morning asking yourself something like “What three things can I do this week to live a healthier, more energetic, balanced and fit life that allows me to do all the things I inspire to do?” Write down the answers and schedule the necessary actions in your diary as you would do this an important clients or your boss and do them as planned –> ACTION ACTION ACTION!

Here three pictures from our Pilates class taught by Karen from earlier today – showing our Morning Pilates Classes – Fitnecise Studio – in Rathfarnham, close to Dundrum, Churchtown, Dublin 14, 16, 18.
The exercises shown are
1. Pilates – Side Lying Leg Circles
2. Pilates – Foam Roller Leg Lifts
3. Pilates – Supine Lying Leg Circles
All three exercises strengthen your core, abdomen – the foam roller movement and the side lying leg circles work also on your balance and general core stability. The Leg circles increase hip mobility and improve flexibility as well.
