Gravity Fx Fitness

Can you burn fat with 15 minute workouts?  Yes, you can…. if the exercise session was intense enough.  Interval bike workouts are one way to achieve this.

I had a pretty long day today, which didn’t leave me much time for a traditional workout tonight.  Not a very strenuous day, but a long Monday just the same.

So I decided for a shorter exercise session.  I put my five fingers “shoes” on to give my feet a little workout and did a little self-massage with a Tiger Tail massager to warm up.

I picked a whole body exercise in order to get the most benefit – one that works my upper and lower body at the same time.  The squat-row movement wasn’t overly strenuous, but doing about 25 sure got my quads burning.

Bodyweight exercises work fairly well when you are 240 plus…..plenty of resistance.  In between sets I did some joint mobility movements to get some extra work in.

So I didn’t burn tons of calories but I did plenty to increase my health.  The movements worked all my joints, helping to lubricate them.  The movements combined with the self-massage helped flush out some of the “junk” that accumulates in all of us, by increasing lymphatic flow.

While I didn’t get quite breathless, I did increase my oxygen intake, flushing toxins out of my body in the process.  So I did manaqe to get some health benefits, as well as decreasing stress levels.

When I have more time and energy I will do a more intense workout that lasts slightly longer.  But that fifteen minute session was much more productive than just sitting on the couch.  At the end of the week it all counts the same.

My new exercise toy should arrive tomorrow in the mail.  Can’t wait to try out my fitness rope.

Get moving!
