Torch calories with this workout trick:
Need to drop an extra 10 pounds? Researchers in Australia have discovered a fat burning shortcut. Here's the trick: Hop on an exercise bike and do 8 seconds of intense cycling, followed by 12 seconds of light cycling; repeat for a total of 20 minutes. Women who did this lost three times as much fat (especially from their legs and butts) as women who exercised at a steady pace for 40 minutes. The intervals help your body produce more fat burning compounds called catecholamines. Swimming, walking, or the elliptical trainer may have the same fat-burning kick, researcher says.
So go go go, get on your bikes or get your patients on the bike.
