WELLBEING GUIDES<br />
out and giving you confidence. Both<br />
on- and offline qualified instructors<br />
are very good at motivating you to<br />
work hard and adapting classes for<br />
different levels of fitness. But do<br />
check they are qualified so you can<br />
learn, adapt and progress at the right<br />
pace for you.<br />
n Stick to the old-school exercises<br />
Old-school military exercises, such as<br />
sit-ups, press-ups and burpees, have<br />
stood the test of time: one, because<br />
they’re effective; two, because there<br />
are only so many ways we can move<br />
our body and; three, they are easy<br />
to do. The current buzz is around<br />
high intensity interval training (HIIT)<br />
where you work as hard as you can<br />
(around 95 per cent of maximum<br />
heart rate) for very short bursts. This<br />
is an effective way to get fit and you'll<br />
only need to commit 10 to 20 minutes,<br />
three to five days a week, for results.<br />
n Do weights<br />
If you want to burn fat, pump iron.<br />
The biggest misconception is that<br />
cardio is the only way to burn calories<br />
and lose fat. But when you train at a<br />
lower intensity, for example, marathon<br />
running, your body learns to store fat<br />
as fuel, which it needs for longer runs.<br />
The quickest and most effective way<br />
to change your body shape is through<br />
weight training, which teaches your<br />
body to store glycogen as fuel in the<br />
muscles. You create more lean muscle,<br />
which not only looks aesthetically<br />
pleasing, but it also means that your<br />
body becomes more efficient at<br />
burning calories after you’ve worked<br />
out – the ‘after burn’ effect. And<br />
remember, you don’t need to use<br />
weights as your own bodyweight<br />
works too. You can add resistance<br />
when you use your imagination (pullups<br />
on park equipment, power jumps<br />
onto a step or bench).<br />
Stand up & paddle<br />
As Brits were forced into<br />
‘staycations’ and getting<br />
outside to stay sane<br />
in lockdown, stand up<br />
paddleboarding, or SUPing,<br />
soared in popularity. It's not<br />
surprising, it's easy to learn,<br />
great for your core and upper<br />
body, and being on the water<br />
can help still the mind – a<br />
mesmerising effect similar to<br />
that felt when going fishing.<br />
