    Red Beard - the BFL cardio - the 20 minute thing - the intensity splits - could you throw them up here, did that on the rower once, and almost killed myslef.  hence want to do it again, but Willie Weka has my BFL book (think he is using it to hold up a short leg on his coffee table, sure ain't using it!).

    cheers RB, rowing machine almost perfect for that programme, with the 75% effort and the like, asyou can work out exactly what your efforts are for each interval.  I'll crank it out on the rower tomorrow and see what happens, looking forward to it!!

    Hey Bart<br />
    <br />
    Her is an example of a good BFL rowing session. You want to be looking at the time per 500m on your screen rowing.<br />
    <br />
    min 1and 2 - warmup - any speed <br />
    min 2 to 3 - 2.00/500m<br />
    min 3 to 4 - 1.55/500m<br />
    min 4 to 5 - 1.50/500m<br />
    min 5 to 6 - 1.45/500m<br />
    min 6 to 7 - 1.40/500m - 1st 90-100% effort<br />
    <br />
    After minute 7 go back to min 3 to 4 and work down again- should end up having 90-100% efforts on minutes 10 to 11, 14 to 15 and 18 to 19 - make this one 5 secs faster than you previos efforts 1.35/500m.<br />
    It will pay to cruise for the first 30 secs of each minute straight after you high intensity minutes to give the body some Oxygen which is a fairly important thing to have.<br />
    You may need to alter the times a bit to suit you fitness levels but rowing like this is the best form of cardio.

    Day Nine:<br />
    <br />
    9am.  Te Aroha Gym.<br />
    <br />
    20 min BFL Cardio on treadmill.<br />
    <br />
    A few posters reckon you wont lose weight (I guess they mean bodyfat), unless you complete regular aerobic sessions lasting 45 minutes or more but  I disagree.  If you do short, sharp and intensive cardio and strength sessions, (plus eat the right foods of course), your metabolic rate will rise and your body will become more efficient at burning fat 24 hours a day.  The key is the intensity and frequency with which you train not the duration.Â

    Nice; I believe that makes you the first FatBuster to take the field this year. Let's hope you're not the last  <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
