Pippa Middleton has shared her top tips for losing weight, which she says will help get "fast results".
Pippa, the sister of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has laid out a 10-week fitness programme in partnership with Waitrose. It ranges from "brisk, rigorous walking" in week one to week six's high intensity interval training (HIIT), which she says is "great for burning fat and boosting fitness" and "does wonders for your body shape, particularly if you’re after fast results".
HIIT is similar to circuit training. The idea is you exercise in short, explosive bursts, with a brief recovery period, before resuming another short, explosive exercise. "The aim," Pippa says, "is to boost your VO2 max – increase the amount of oxygen your body can use per minute. Put simply, the greater your VO2 max, the fitter you are."
