Is a 2min jogging on a spot interval good for weight loss?

[Anonymous]

I don't have time to go out to a gym so I usually do a workout out home.

I tried a 30 minute workout where there first 10 minutes are side steps & kick backs

Then for 20 minutes the person jogs fast on the spot for 2 minutes then every 30 seconds in between its just side steps again.

I enjoyed it & it got my heart rate up. I was puffed out after that.

Is this a good workout to add onto as I walk home for 20 minutes & walk for 30 minutes in my lunch hour.

Is this a good exercise to lose belly fat?

I've also taken out junk food out & eating more healthy.

I've just started on Monday so only a few days.

Thank you

It is a full body effort. Portions in half, carbs out*snack, frozen food, alcohol aisle removed from grocery list), 2200 calories of mostly proteins-need to get body to pull fat off interior organs and use, A working metabolism even in sleep. Rest weekend. Monday HIIT is what I do. I started at 15 second sprint on elliptical rest 45 seconds... repeat for 5 minutes. Work up from there. I am at a minute sprint and 3 minute rest now 90 days later for 32 minutes...8 sprints.

No gaming, couch sitting etc at home. Clean toilets, walk stairs, pull weeds mow grass shovel snow. Shower rest...7-9 hours of sleep.

Results: 300 calorie burn at gym and 100 at home being active. 1800 calorie total daily net which will pull fat off organs and process it.

HIIT TWICE A WEEK ONLY (Mon/Thurs for me) unless you are stronger than I am. high rep low weight circuit one day, 30 minute bike ride next day REST when body says so especially if you are trying to break even at end of 4th Quarter Foods intake.

UNDER DO it rather than over do it or you will burn out ... no New Year resolution is the Goal...

Understand that you will shed fat ONLY AND ONLY when you burn more calories than you consume. If you are consistently meeting that condition, you will start shedding fat. Let your body adjust to the changes in eating habits and the physical strain and take it slowly, do not try to rush and start eating little to no food, that is going to end you up on a hospital bed. As far as your belly fat is concerned, you've got to be disciplined about what you are eating. Eat healthily and keep grinding!

You cannot target weight loss. You lose fat from the extremities first. Eating right and sleeping good is 75% of the journey, 25% is the workouts and the effort you put into them.
