As we make our way, sluggish and bloated, from Christmas to the New Year, most people’s minds turn to detoxing and healthier eating.
I know I’m not alone in having piled on a few pounds over the festive season, and know there’s no quick fix way of getting rid of them.
For some, Hypoxi Therapy might be just what they need to kick start the year on a new, positive note.
Hypoxi Therapy is a form of low intensity exercise which targets fat in the stomach, waist, hips, buttocks and thigh areas. There are two types of machines that have been developed for the treatment, both of which are exercise bikes, one which you do sitting down, the other lying on your back.
The bike is enclosed in a vacuum which aids the effectiveness of the exercise as it helps the breakdown of fat in the body.
For Hypoxi Therapy to work to its full effectiveness, you should do three treatments a week, each of which lasts an hour.
Also, along with the new exercise regime, it is recommended that you follow a nutrition programme which will aid weight loss. You should try to eat a meal an hour or two before doing the treatment, and then avoid carbohydrates after the Hypoxi Therapy.
In addition to this, those doing the programme should not drink alcohol the day before the treatment, and the day of the treatment as it interferes with weight loss.
So, if you are serious about losing weight this year, Hypoxi Therapy could be an option to aid weight loss while embarking on a healthier diet.
As an added bonus, this January, Hypoxi Therpy Ireland are running a Jeans Genie campaign. Brand new designer jeans worth €120 will be available to clients who successfully shape-up/
