Before commencing this or any new exercise program please seek your doctor’s approval to exercise.
This abdominal weight loss routine has been designed by researchers at the University of Sydney (Fat Lab) and extensively investigated.
This weight loss exercise routine involves:
• Low impact exercises including walking, cycling, rowing or stair elliptical machine. These exercises are usually appropriate for women with pelvic floor problems including pelvic organ prolapse.
• Exercising on 3 alternate days per week.
• 15 minutes of alternating high and low intensity exercise with 8 seconds high intensity and 12 seconds low intensity exercise.
• Exercise intensity during the high intensity component should be vigorous causing increased heart rate and breathing.
• 5 minutes low intensity warm up and cool down.
Benefits of this abdominal alternating high and low intensity fat loss routine:

*Decreased abdominal, trunk and visceral fat (fat around internal organs)
*Decreased leg fat
*Decreased waist circumference
Increased aerobic power
