First of all, losing weight, particularly in menopause, is only partly about exercise. It takes 4 steps, each of them essential. First, you must work with nutrition, including identifying and eliminating food sensitivities and balancing macronutrients appropriately. Second, you must work with stress issues, including sleep. Third, you must lower your toxic burden. And #4 is hormonally appropriate exercise. Really weight loss is about 85% nutrition. My 13 Week Success Program takes people through each of these steps individually. As for the Xiser, you should be doing one minute bursts, but doing them to the point where you couldn't possibly continue another 10 seconds: that intense. Wait at least 2 minutes to recover (although it can also be hours) and repeat. You should be doing 3-8 one minute high intensity intervals a day, no more than every other day. My clients consistently lose body fat using this approach. Hi Teri, and please forgive me for taking so long to answer!

I love the portability and burst training is so much less onerous than working out for 45 minutes at a time. I am in menopause and have gained some weight. I was just wondering if I would need to increase the 4 minutes per workout to maybe 5 or 6 minutes. I haven't seen any weight loss yet. Thanks! I’ve been using the X-iser for about 6 months now.
