I'm trying some tips I got from @gflfitness here on Steemit on one of my posts about getting in shape.
He recommended I drink water before consuming a meal to eat less. (But I still think I can eat plenty...I probably should drink a gallon).
Another thing he recommended is that I incorporate some HIIT training into my workouts.
I did this for the second time this week.
And I like it a lot.
This is what he wrote:
To start I would like you to build up your cardiovascular resistance.
Try this:
On a stationary bike machine warm up for 5 minutes at regular pace. (Hr 110-120Bp)
Then cycle as fast as you can for 10 to 15 seconds. (Hr 120-160 Bp)
Return to regular pace for 2 minutes.
Then return to cycling as fast as you can for 10 to 15 seconds.
Repeat this cycle for 10 minutes.
Including warm-up, this workout routine would be a total of 15 minutes.
You might think it's easy.
And it is the first time you go 15 seconds max (400-420watt) but then the next two minutes (220-240 watt) go past much faster then you would like and it starts again.
It's pretty intense.
At the end you feel it and then normal training still has to begin.
I have noticed that throughout my normal training my heart-rate stays much higher.
I hope that's normal.
I have to try it for 6 weeks.
I'm curious what kinda results I will get.
When entering the gym today Bianca was wearing her Brazil t-shirt.
She was instantly signed to the competition they have running in the gym by the gym owner.
She is now the proud single member of team Brazil :)
She can win a month free membership.
Of course, the world cup has started today and I watched the first match on TV and it was fun.
I like tournaments and seeing countries play instead of dollars.
It might not be the top level yet but everyone that watches Dutch football nowadays is used to lowering their standards anyway.
I'm in general happy when they can kick the ball in the right direction.
As you can probably tell I'm slightly sad the Netherlands is not in the tournament. It's the second tournament in a row we have missed.
It's a shame really. We used to be pretty decent at football.
There is just something buzzing in the country when the Dutch do play.
I miss it.
Hopefully next time.
Luckily this year I can sheer for Brazil, although it's not 100% the same.
I'll do my best to get into it because I do like the world cup.
If your country is in the cup and you like this sort of stuff, enjoy the tournament and good luck!

Vai Brazil!
Nice dish.
I know you have to be a fan of football.
What a golazo from Russia
5-0
At least they scored and give themselves a chance for the second round.
The fourth goal is a beauty.
Keep on watchin'
The fourth was a beauty indeed.
Actually well instructions you gave through @gflfitness. Before take a meal drink water and less eat much better. Also HIT training facility is a amazing techniques for burn un-deserve calories from our body. Also can keep better hear pressure.
Ohhh...Sad to hear Dutch team wasn't enter this FIFA. Netherlands team more powerful team and I like their style. Finally they hadn't opportunity to pass this round like as Italy team. See them next.
Hello @exyle my friend, this world championship for us is very very very sad ... every morning in June I get up and I think my national team will not play! an unbearable thing ... I will console myself with my friends on steemit and especially now with other Steem lol!
Yeah, I know you know the pain! :)
HIIT training is amazing and I always introduce it into my workouts. It boosts your metabolisms so much that you keep burning calories hours after doing the training, even if it was only 15-20 minutes (less amount of time of what you take by doing regular cardiovascular training).
Well said @claubzs 💪🏾
Ah yes I was telling a friend about the old drink a glass of water before a meal technic as her sister believes liquid is not filling which I said was wrong, yeah they say HIIT is good for increasing your metabolism but I have heard alot of mixed things about it let us know your results @exyle (happy when they can kick the ball in the right direction) LOL!
is a good first step to change your habits and try to be healthier, in addition to your training and water you have not thought about following a Paleo diet ?.
I hope to see more updates of your new lifestyle.
I write about it from time to time.
Hahaha... If the food is good, you can't stop eating even you are full! LOL
But we need to take care of our health for the better life...
You are so right, it's very difficult to say no to good food 😊
I don't believe in the word "diets". I believe that once you learnthe art in eating right you can eat what you want when you want, and best of all enjoy what you eating.
Agree!!! Hahaha...
😎💪🏾
Well, at least you get to cheer for Brazil! You will have to let us know how the HIIT is working out. Drinking water does help but you are exercising and your body will tell you to eat more...
I still find it hard to believe that Holland aren't in the world cup @exyle. I still think of them as being one of the top teams. Shows how long it's been since I watched it I suppose. At least you have Brazil to support though! 😁
You and me both....
You'll get massive result through your gym exercises @exyle. HIIT training include your workouts superior work to find best result. Bianca wear Brazil jersey mean she's cheer to directly Brazil. Without Netherlands team, what's state team you cheering up?
However we'll see after one month can seek who's championship.
Spending increased the amount of food. That's normal. I enjoyed the game today. Like it. Let's face more matches in the next matches.I support"" BRAZIL""

Your food looks delicious and I too enjoyed watching the opening ceremony and very first match of Russia 2018. I had predicted a win for Russia but never thought it would be 5 goals, they really white washed those Saudi boys. Tomorrow is another hot match that am looking forward to :)
Dieting han. Really good. It will bring you back in shape and will make you smart. This pasta you are eating looks great. By the way i m also gonna watch the world cup. Today was russia to Saudi Arabia. Russia won it. Ima glad about it.
Mark and Bianca @exyle Go Brazil !!!
It is interesting to drink water before eating, I will try also to see if it turns out! The training shows that it is tiring and that someone without experience as I end up with fatigue, anyway thanks for sharing this with us :D
