Possibly, but this time I'll be taking it slowly. According to the machine, I burn 600 calories and, dare I say, I feel empowered. I manage an hour of slow interval training on a cross-trainer. I'm so surprised to realise I can still technically 'work out', that two days later I brave my local gym. The day after my Precision Running class, I take Nurofen as an anti-inflammatory, so terrified am I of aggravating my back - but the next day, while there's a reasonable tightness in my thighs, and my back feels briefly heavy, there's no harsh, nagging ache. At the Rev5 gym in Windsor, Berkshire, their 15-minute session is composed of five exercises on a range of machines which are completed so slowly that you exercise in your day clothes as it is literally no sweat. It doesn't have to be running or cycling, just movement in general.' You cut the risk of a heart attack by 40 per cent. A slow cardiovascular workout is massively beneficial for the whole body. This is my kind of workout.Īnthony says: 'Everything in moderation is the key. Tilting the incline is a psychological masterstroke, as after a brief interlude of relative exertion, when you flatten the treadmill and slow down, you feel as light as air. My average speed, I notice, is the resting pace of my treadmill neighbour. Far better than my normal distance, zero miles. BITE is about understanding that moderation is enough - or even the optimum.Įven though I've taken it easy, at the end of the class my heart-rate hits 144 beats per minute, and I've clocked up three miles. After years of operating in might-as-well-not-bother-mode, I entertain the thrilling possibility that I'm not past it.īITE is the welcome antidote to HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), last year's must-do aerobic exercise. The logic is that you stay within your comfort zone, and build slowly.Īt the end, I feel the long-lost buzz of an exercise high. Anthony explains that when ten seconds is chopped off our work time, raising the speed and/or incline ensures that effort is sustained or increased to 'achieve the same metabolic burn' (that is, the rate at which we convert calories to energy). In my rest period, I maintain a stroll so leisurely it feels quite brazen.Īfter a minute's rest, we run (or briskly trot) for 50 seconds on flat, at a slightly increased speed. I lightly puff for one minute at my chosen speed of 4.3 mph. When Anthony tells us to set our gradient at 5 per cent, a gentle slope, I move as if I'm pretending to ice skate, barely lifting my feet. Our resting pace can be as languid as we wish: snail, sloth, toddler, but it should be at least half our training speed. While Zickerman parks his bus outside of a lot of businesses to help clients squeeze in training sessions during the work day, he's also driven it to the Hamptons during the summer months to give members of his brick-and-mortar gym in New York City a way to work out while they're hitting the beach.Our resting pace can be as languid as we wish: snail, sloth, toddler, but it should be at least half our training speed He said he thought, "If you can have a whole kitchen on a truck, why couldn’t you have a gym on a bus?" And thus, Zickerman's gym-in-a-bus launched in summer 2012. Zickerman said he got the idea for the mobile gym when he was grabbing lunch from a food truck. So I asked Adam Zickerman, C.S.C.S., founder of Inform Fitness, author of The Power of 10, and proud owner of the fitness bus, to bring the mobile gym by the Women's Health New York City offices so I could see how the heck this thing worked and maybe blow some of the neighbors' minds. First, we wondered: How is there enough space in a vehicle to get a good workout? Then, we thought: How can we get this bus to the office to try it out? When the team first heard that a gym-in-a-bus exists, we were fascinated.
