Like most women who describe themselves as ‘curvy’, I’ve searched for years to find a way to get fit and lose weight that actually works.

A generous size 14 for most of my adult life, I’ve tried  everything from aerobics to zumba – without success.

The two-minute workout works wonders: Short, sharp bursts of exercise are just as good as a 90 minute run

Short periods of high-intensity exercise found to be better at warding off heart disease
Longer periods of less strenuous activity proved less effective at cutting fat that lingers in blood after eating

It sounds like a couch potato’s dream: two-and-a-half minutes of exercise could be just as good as a 90-minute run.

We are meeting in the heart of the City after the banking blog called on rating agency employees to talk about their experiences.
