The 20-minute workout that changed my life
Having been a size four my whole life, it was
disconcerting to see that my love for all things sweet (I’m Punjabi) and my
sudden, slow metabolism had led to me gain 15 kilos and drove me up to a size
10 while I was in Canada for my undergrad.
Once I was back home and started working a full-time job,
the professional environment motivated me to become the fittest version of
myself. This time, it wasn’t just about shedding those few extra pounds, I was
determined to become fit.
Swimming,
aerobics, Zumba, Pilates, yoga—you name it and I had tried it all, but nothing
seemed to work. My battle with my weight was one I was losing to every day and
it made me feel terrible. It was then that I decided to hit the gym and what
came next changed my world.
Initially,
my workout was simple: just some basic cardio and core exercises. It was only
after the first month that my trainer introduced me to a high-intensity
training workout called Tabata.
The rules
are simple: you do each exercise in this routine only for four minutes. You
push yourself as hard as you can for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds and
repeat this cycle eight times. Do four-five exercises back-to-back to begin
with and complete the Tabata circuit in about 16-20 minutes. But trust me, this
is the longest 20-minute workout you’ll have ever endured.
Classic
Tabata moves include (four minutes each):
·
Jumping
jacks
·
Squats
·
Fast feet
·
Burpees
·
Mountain
climbers
·
Push-ups
Relentless
panting, nausea, seeing stars—this is how you know you’re doing a Tabata
workout correctly. Initially, I would wonder why I’m even doing this to myself,
but the fast results (I lost seven per cent body fat in just a month) and the
satisfaction of completing a strenuous circuit is what makes this high
intensity interval training session so addictive.
Apart from
working out like a beast at the gym, I also focused on my diet to make sure I
could train well. But being a foodie, I would find myself indulging in one too
many cheat meals every week. I consulted with my nutritionist (and sister)
Harlene Bhasin, who advised maintaining a food journal of everything I had
consumed. I realised writing down everything I ate, made the guilt of cheating
twice as bad. I even started noting my workout progress in my journal (over
time you realise you can add more exercises to the circuit).
“What you
eat before a high-intensity
workout matters,” says Bhasin. “Eat a fruit like an
apple or some strawberries an hour before the workout. A piece of dark
chocolate or a shot of coffee will keep lethargy at bay.”
It’s been
over two months that I’ve been doing this routine and I can say without a
doubt, I haven’t had more fun working out. My trainer constantly switches the
exercises to make the
routine challenging, plus I’m not stuck in the rut of
doing the same boring workout every day. Besides, I’ve lost 12 kilos in the
last two months and am eating healthier than ever before.
Somewhere
between the back-breaking burpees and the exhausting mountain climbers, I got
the strength to train like never before—I can run for 50 minutes at a go as
opposed to my measly five-minute sprints, I’ve finally gained muscle and can workout six
times a week.
Give your skin an autumnal glow!
Co-founder of Aestheticslab.co.uk, Tanya Zahoor gives Closer her top tips on how
to maintain the healthiest skin as we head into the winter month
§
Continue using SPF during autumn and winter
months, it prevents ageing and keeps skin protected against UVA rays which are
present even on a gloomy day. [We like Dermaquest SPF 30.]
§
To keep your tan for longer use a rich body
moisturiser (Medik8 Body Moisturiser)
§
To keep your gut health at its best have a
daily intake of a probiotic supplement. This will work wonders for your skin
keeping it clear and blemish free.
§
Take vitamin C and Zinc supplements to keep
your immune system working at its best and keep colds and viruses at bay.
Vitamin C is also a great anti-oxidant and will protect your skin against free
radicals and ageing.
§
Use an enzyme based exfoliator on your face
(Dermaquest Mini Pumpkin Mask) rather than a grain based one - it dissolves
dead skin yet is kind on skin, leaving it soft and radiant.
§
The perfect way to add extra moisture to your
skin and infuse it with all the necessary vitamins is to have a mesotherapy
treatment on your face. Alternatively, a hydrating facial is always good during
winter months.
§
Post summer holidays and into winter months
use a rich moisturiser (Biologique Recherché or Dermaquest Essential
mosturiser) to rehydrate your skin after holiday sun and keep it hydrated
throughout winter months when skin tends to become quite dry.
Keep your tan for
longer using a rich moisturiser
§
Ensure that you use a mosuturising serum ( B5
Medik 8 or Dermaquest) for extra hydration.
§
Use face masks suitable for your skin type and
skin condition at least twice a week for a mini facial effect in the comfort of
your home.

Charlotte Tilbury’s Supermodel Body – works
like slimming shapewear to firm and smooth your contours whilst disguising skin

Murad Clarifying Mask – This clarifying mask
deeply cleanses skin with a unique combination of clays that draw out
impurities and absorb excess oil; leaving my skin beautifully soft, smooth and

What your skin is secretly telling you
Want to know how to stop spots, ditch dry skin and banish
blemishes? Skincare expert and touch therapist Sarah Jones talks you through
the secret signals your skin is telling you
Sometimes no amount of
drinking water, cleansing, toning and moisturizing can cure bad skin. Which is
why skincare expert Sarah Jones - who has a host of celebrity clients including
Ferne McCann and Gemma Collins - has taken a unique approach to beauty – and as
the saying goes, it starts from the inside.
Sarah’s approach is
based around the idea that your skin reflects your emotions – so anything
you're affected by in the past and present will show on our skin
Her secret to skin
vitality is not just a healthy lifestyle – from a good balanced diet, regular
exercise and keeping hydrated – she also thinks the true magic formula also
includes finding a level of inner peace, positivity, confidence and overall
balance.
Sarah says: “Have you
ever noticed that your skin reacts badly when you’re under stress? I can
sometimes point to a spot and say, 'This is from that terrible traffic jam I
got stuck in yesterday.' Or when you’re giddy with good news, people often
comment on your skin, saying you’re “glowing”. Don’t underestimate how emotions
play a huge role in how our skin behaves.”
To help you sort your
own skin complaints Sarah has shown what emotions are behind each blemish.
Dry skin
This is ultimately
linked to deep-rooted stress, self-criticism and a little sadness. A particular
memory may also be eating away at you. You’re likely to be a kind and caring
person that does everything for the people around you, but forgets to look after
yourself. Don’t forget to prioritize yourself even if it’s just having a bath
once a week, and if you want to overcome trauma in your past you may want to
see a counsellor.
Cold sores and
breakouts of spots
These are both are an
indication of unexpressed anger, festering inside. It may be worth taking a
little time to try and isolate what it is that’s annoyed you recently.
Coldsores and spots are life’s way of telling you that you have just gotten off
balance so it’s time to readdress this as try and curb whatever it is that’s
made you angry.
Eczema
The painful and
difficult dry, cracking, crusting and red patches on the skin is often
difficult to treat and a real battle. Sarah believes this is a sign that you
feel suffocated in your thoughts and over whelmed in your emotions. It may be
time to take stock of how you are feeling, write down how you feel and fine a
way you may be able to tackle each emotion.
Oily skin and acne
When you have oily
skin you’re also prone to large pores you’ll also have regular but small
breakouts. This is a sign that you’re not relaxed and you put a lot of pressure
on yourself emotionally. You may also be prone to judging yourself a lot. It
may be time to work on your confidence and surround yourself with people who
make you feel good.
Sensitive skin, red
and angry skin
This is often the most
problematic and fragile of skin types. Sarah believes this is because you are
battling hurt and pain. People with sensitive skin are often shy and reserved
who hate confrontation. Start by working on your self esteem by trying new
things and coming out of your comfort zone.
Sarah also offers
touch therapy sessions, an hour-long relaxing treatment where she gentle
touches and assess your skin using oils and the power of touch to help you
heal. Each session is different and will be sculpted to suit you and your skin.
After the sensual relaxation Sarah will then explain your skin condition and
complaints and what part your emotions are playing. She will help you unlock
pain from your past and help direct you about combatting difficult emotions in
the future.
Sarah says: “The
concept of listening to your skin may sound a little strange, but think about
it along the same lines as trusting your intuition order to truly care for your
skin you have to listen to it - a principle that is built on love, touch,
gratitude and grounding.”
