I'm going to give this a go. I am extremely unfit at the moment and have put on alot of weight in the last 6 months.... I work in an office on my butt all day in front of a computer. Restricting my diet and trying to do as much cardio as I can just makes me tired, grumpy and emotional. When I was at my fittest I was doing a lot of weights with a personal trainer and a lot of hiking on the weekends (generally at a slow pace enjoying the scenery). Doing the weights built up my muscles, which in turn increased my energy making me more generally active. I wanted to get out and about after work and on the weekends because I was literally bursting with energy. Also, I ate pretty much whatever I wanted. Don't get me wrong most of what I ate was healthy good food but if I wanted a huge bowl of pasta I ate it, if I wanted some chocolate I ate it. I feel I should point out here that all this was in reason but I loved being able to enjoy the 'naughty' things without guilt. These days I feel guilty for everything I put in my mouth because I am putting on weight no matter what I do. Thank you for your post. It confirms what I had already started to think and had given me motivation to give it a go. Sharni Hi Kat,

Will this also cause the same effects as traditional cardio? It's something i am considering taking up to build confidence and improve my health.. And one other point, what about actually really enjoying some classes? I use to do some body combat classes if nothing but just for the pure stress relief and enjoyment. Would you still recommend avoiding them once in a while? Hi Kat,

The only real RULE with weight is variety. So you wouldn't do EITHER of those styles indefinitely. Remember that abs are made in the kitchen not in the gym :) They can work.
