I've never been one for the main stream sports so when I was asked to start a blog as a university assignment I decided to blog on alternate sports, which to me are far more exciting and extreme yet don't get the media exposure the deserve, so after Qualifying as a Exercise Scientist last year I decided to keep my blog going and focus on these sports as well as document my travels being a profession surf judge and a bit of my new interest in sport journalism, feel free to use the question box or post comments, Enjoy!

Q & A!

In response to the question, what would be the most effective way to lose weight and keep the weight off, with regards to training?. The best way to lose weight in terms of training is through cardiovascular training, these are exercises such as hiking, running, swimming, and cycling on and off road, and if you enjoy working out in the gym you can work on the rowing machine, treadmill and orbitrek to name a few. The key is to enjoy the exercise you are doing so that it does not feel like a chore to lose weight, but rather a part of the day that you look forward to, this way you will exercise for longer and not drop out of your exercise program. You should be doing your cardiovascular training three times a week for 30-45 minutes a day. With busy schedules this can be difficult, so maybe try waking up early and starting your day with exercise, it might not sound great but you’ll find that you have more energy throughout the day and are in a good mood. You must remember that your diet must be healthy and maintained in order to lose weight. Eating badly will defeat the purpose of training to lose weight.
