But if we stick to the two ways: standing with your hands on your head or standing bent over with your hands on your knees, a study looked at this and concluded that one way is significantly better than the other in terms of getting your heart rate down faster and getting oxygen to the working muscles. Find out which way is best in the video.

"The best money I have ever spent. Great mix of humour, practical technique and theory. It’s brilliant and I have been telling all my friends about it. I’ve knocked 30 secs off my average pace to 4:30 and at 53 I’m absolutely astonished how relaxed I feel running. It’s also really helped my cycling my adapting similar techniques and visualisation. Thanks so much.
