Loosing weight in an Ice Bath?!

Posted: January 4, 2012 in Uncategorized

Hey Guys,

I thought I would give you an update with what is happening I’ve decided to try and pick my training up again and get myself back in shape - My training is always covered by my coach Luke Preston so it leaves me in charge of my weight. Thankfully Luke originally gave me a really good book called ‘Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle’ when I decided to change catergories from u81kg to u73kg. Which to date is the best diet I have ever followed so do take a look!

As you can imagine after a year off of competing and a knee operation I have managed to get heavy again?! So I have started back on the same diet, but this time with some new ideas! A friend of mine gave me a new book for Christmas ‘Cheers Si.’ called the ’4 hour body’ which follows quiet a few of the same eating ideas as my original diet plan. I’ve found the book really interesting so far it also looks into different ways of losing weight and one of the more painfull ones I’ve now tried is the 20min ‘Ice Bath’! Now when I say it was horrible its possibly an understatement, the first 10 minutes you just submerge your legs, then for 5 minutes you submurge your whole body upto your neck leaving your arms out and for the last 5 you bring your arms under also!

Now the real Science behind this I’m still not 100% sure on why this works as far as what happens within the body, but I believe it makes your body work harder and doing this 3 times a week you can double your weeks fat loss. So if anybody wants to try and explain it to me very simply than I would welcome it!

So thats the fun I had today, I’m guessing everyone has made New Years resolutions to loose weight or get fit so I would like to hear what your goals are and how your going to achieve them! If you need advice or can offer advice that would be good.

Any ways take care Vince
