Meet Amir Siddiqui, founder of<br />
Symmetry Gym, one of Dubai’s<br />
most exclusive facilities for<br />
personal training. Here, the fitness<br />
expert answers a topical question<br />
to suit our busy lifestyle<br />
Q<br />
A<br />
I'm not a morning person. If I put off exercising<br />
until later in the evening does it affect my afterburn<br />
and are the overall results any different?<br />
No, not to any appreciable degree at least. The<br />
most important variable is not the timing of the<br />
workout, but your consistency of timing; never<br />
missing a session is overwhelmingly more significant.<br />
Ideally, you want to create a regular schedule that<br />
follows a routine as predictably as possible. The less<br />
variation, the better. This is more likely to guarantee a<br />
higher output workout, with better energy and<br />
mental clarity. You aren't going to have a headturning<br />
body, if you can't manage your own schedule.<br />

ORANGETHEORY FITNESS<br />
Florida’s renowned fitness program has finally landed in<br />
the UAE, just in time to still achieve that summer body.<br />
Their claim to fame? Work out for one-hour, burn an<br />
average of 500 to 1,000 calories for up to 36 hours postworkout.<br />
It’s all about the after-burn, with a workout that<br />
incorporates endurance, strength and power from<br />
treadmills, rowing machines, TRX suspension and free<br />
weights. We went in for a 60-minute scientificallydesigned<br />
workout and strapped on the monitor to<br />
observe our hear rate. The workout began with a warmup<br />
on the rowing machines, followed by squats, push-ups<br />
and dumbbell presses in the TRX zone. We then moved<br />
over to the treadmills for a few minutes of interval<br />
training, and back to the TRX area for our floor workout,<br />
ending with the treadmill workout again and a deep<br />
stretch. Throughout the workout you are encouraged to<br />
reach, and stay in, the orange zone (on the screen) to<br />
achieve EPOC (Excess post-exercise oxygen<br />
consumption) for increased calorie burn.<br />
