Five tips from The Biggest Loser's Michelle Bridges. "I know the score," says Michelle. "You want the kilos to come off quicker than your nightie on wedding night!"
1. Sweat it out!
Sweat If you work-out and don't cough up a lung or two at the end, then, sister, you ain't going hard enough. Do 45 minutes of kick-arse training, six days a week.
2. Interval train
Incorporate interval training in your cardio sessions Elevate your heart rate for about 20 seconds, then pull back for 40. Use your local oval – just jog the long bits and sprint the short bits.
3. Spring out of bed
Train in the morning Your glycogen levels will be depleted so you're more likely to burn fat at this time.
4. Area focus
Organise your weight training train a lower body part for your first set and an upper body part for the second set. It will make your heart pump harder and so you'll burn more kilojoules.
5. Get a personal trainer
Pick an angry steely faced dude that clearly does not take 'no' for an answer and then tell him he gets a $50 bonus for every kilo he gets off you.
MICHELLE'S HELPFUL TOOLS
- Heart rate monitors rock! You won't be able to coast through a work-out.
- Good-quality runners. I have a couple of pairs of adidas Supernovas.
- Gym classes. Get a timetable and pin it up in your office. Then get yourself to the classes.
