Part of it is body sculpting. Now I don't know if you've noticed, but men and women have different body shapes and therefore different exercise goals. I think that's probably why it is targeted at women.

I have no idea what body sculpting is. If someone sculpted me they'd have to do it from f***ing play dough like.

No they allow fellas as one of the lasses in my office does it and complains about "this sweaty mincer who doesn't even do it properly". Her words not mine.



It's just in the northeast at the moment, started by a lad from Sunderland. Done very well through internet marketing using Facebook and twitter and is expanding all the time.

If he is expanding all the time, he should try the program himself.
 
Aye @Snappy is correct.

Our lass (no) teaches it Chester way. It's a much harder workout than you'd expect. 45 mins of it is about 850 calories bunt according to me Apple Watch. Very popular and they change the exercises every 5-6 weeks.
 
Fair play to them, its getting lasses active etc, its a good thing on the whole. At the end of the day though, its just cardio, they could burn twice as many calories through light exercise rather than kill themselves for 45 mins.

Doesn't HIIT burn fat at a greater rate than steady state cardio, even if you burn the same number of calories?

Calories are calories at the end of the day mate. HIIT in an ideal world is best for those hitting a plateau at a bodyfat percentage that they want to lower. If someone did 45 mins of HIIT vs someone who did 45 mins of steady jog/walk then HIIT wins for calories burnt I imagine depending on intensity.

Here is an example of the two routes I could choose tomorrow which will burn the same amount of calories......

A) I am going to go for a 3 hour walk, wont get out of breath once and wont be taxing on my body or central nervous system. I have burnt a load of calories because of the amount of time I walked for.

B) Go to skinnypigs/or do some HIIT training at the gym for 45 minutes. I will be dripping in sweat and absolutely fucked! Will probably boot the cat out of the window when I get home from my session as my body has been taken to the limit and I just want to eat and go to bed!

Person A and B are likely to burn the same calories (probably person A even more). At the end of the day when I check my fitbit and see I have burnt say 3500 calories, my body doesnt know I have did HIIT, played footy, wanked into a flannel etc, it just knows I have burnt 3500 calories.

So to answer the question @Frijj :lol:, calories burnt at the end of the day are exactly that. HIIT can create the burning of calories after your workout, whereas slow steady state will cease almost as soon as you stop, but when clock strikes midnight its what shows on your monitor/fitbit.

Does wanking in to a flannel burn many calories?

Is it just HIIT?

A load of lasses I know are on bellendbook talking about it constantly. It's like some sort of cult :lol:

Nah it's actually decent mate. Fair play to the lad who started it.
 
Not exactly on topic as I'm all for HIIT training but the name is shit, most fitness / health and well being brands try to promote strong not skinny, as skinny is synonymous with anorexia.

Saying that tho it's better than juice shite which cons women into thinking they are on a diet that really works when actually they just lose weight because they are starving themselves.
