Since you've provided these kj/cal stats today, I'm determined to maintain daily step ups instead of weekly as I've been doing. What an easy peasy idea. I knew it was good exercise for me, but didn't realise how very good (and weight loss effective)! I have a perfect little 120 year old wooden box that my TINY granny used all her life to help her reach everything that was always up too high for her- even standing at the kitchen sink. I love this little memento of her and use it myself for extra reach as well as step ups. Recently my 40 yr old youngest son told me how special this 'family treasure piece' is to him also, and that one day he will take over the care of it and the memories it holds. Granny never had a weight problem at 4'10" and 40kgs! now we have extra insight LOL. (()) Yay Craig,I work up a sweat in less than 2 minutes on my step up ‘soap box’.

to a point weight-loss is simply a matter of the sums – however – to see progress in terms of strength, power, aerobic fitness…. etc. there does need to be an element of progession and variety – all I’ve done here is try to illustrate how simple weight-loss can be… not design a universal program

The reality is that most people will follow BFL for a limited time and very few will produce FOREVER results – that’s more about the people than the program…

"I'll just get that book from the top shelf. Oops, wrong book. Try again. Oops, wrong book. Try again. Oops, wrong book ..."<br/><br/>Hey, this could really work! <br/><br/>I'm definitely going to bear this in mind when all my marking starts flooding in next week - 42 essays of 2000 words each then 120 essays of 1000 words each. It annoys me so much that my job requires that I sit on my butt for hours at a time (I work hard, I get fat - how unfair is that?). Anyway, I'll exercise for two minutes every hour which will refresh my mind as well as, hopefully, stop my butt from expanding. Worth a try, yes?<br/><br/>Thanks for the tip. Enjoy your Monday.<br/><br/>EG xxx Hi Craig,

I get the maths calculations and I get the point that you are making. But wouldn't continual weight-loss be dependent on you continually making the workout harder (to avoid your body simply adapting to it)?<br/><br/>And aside from the arguments of simplicity of location and equipment, would it be fair to say that for about the same total weekly commitment of TIME, following something like (say) the Body For Life training programme would give you much better results? (I say this as an illustration of how you could do a complete training programme for as little as the equivalent of 2mins per waking hour.) Thoughts?<br/><br/>Now to the serious stuff: How did YOU know I regularly prance around in stilettos and chaps?? And I already own a Stairmaster in an attempt to work on that .. er .. region, but THANKS for pointing it out! I'm sure there are people out there that appreciate a full, round butt. Somewhere. Anywhere? Helloooo???<br/><br/>Suz (Sydney) OK, Mr Exercise Expert .. I get the maths calculations and I get the point that you are making.
