Today is day five of my health kick. Well, when I say health kick I mean my Hypoxi adventure. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the whole Hypoxi experience, I promised I'd give you some insight, so here it is.
On Wednesday I went into the North Adelaide Hypoxi for my first session. I was measured up and weighed and then unleashed on the fab little piece of equipment that will hopefully be changing my life, and my dimensions ;-)
Basically what happens, is that before you begin, you get a thin strap placed around your upper thigh (it measures your core heat) and another strap around your rib cage (to measure your heart rate). You then pop on a little wetsuit material skirt which goes from just below your bra (where its quite tight) and drops into a flared at your hips.
Once kitted up, you then enter the 'machine'. This is an exercise bike with a sort of capsule that once seated, pushes together around you and locks into the wetsuit skirt thing. This is really hard to explain but the whole idea is that from the ribs down, you are then enclosed in this capsule.
Then you just peddle. And not even strenuously.
The capsule adjusts the pressure constantly so it goes from a vaccum like state where your wetsuit air lock sucks down, and then it reverses so your wetsuit balloons out a bit.
The idea is that it encourages your circulation to increase in your lower body which helps target cellulite and fat burning.
Considering each session is only 1/2 hour of reasonable exercise, while I get to sit there and watch movies on the large plasma in front of me, I think this is awesome.
I have now been three times (you are meant to go three times a week) and I have been booked in for another three weeks.
Once I start getting results I'll post them so you can see how this is all going.
If it works, I'll be the first to promote this because it's SO EASY and isn't time consuming at all. Stay tuned...
