FOXBOROUGH There's something very zen about Bill Belichick. He is not a man of the past or future. He is a man of the present.

Asked about the team's troubles, the Patriots head coach offered little to nothing in the way of insight, instead focusing on the task at hand.

Belichick uttered the phrases "we're on to Cincinnati" and "we're getting ready for Cincinnati" no fewer than five times during his press conference at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday.

This would typically be the day where the Patriots turn the page for good on their previous game and turn their attention entirely to the upcoming opponent, but the timeframe is compressed this week with a six-day turnaround between the Patriots' two primetime games on Monday night and Sunday night.

A press conference is directed at three groups: your players, your owner, and your fans. It seems Belichick's message to those three groups was that the team will not linger on the lumps it took in the 41-14 bloodbath against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Dubai A new fitness fad has taken Dubai by snow storm.

Launched in Ski Dubai in May this year, the high energy regimen of aerobics called Snowrobics claims the subzero temperature workout has unique advantages.

A customised 45-minute session held on the slopes of the indoor ski resort, it entails high intensity circuit training and other functional exercises. Instructor Nathan Carr says: Training in subzero temperatures burns more calories by increasing the rate at which your body breaks down fat combined with the fact that it can improve your athletic performance.

Training in the cold is said to boost hormonal activity that facilitates fat loss. The calorie burn is more because the body spends more energy to stay warm.

As Carr takes participants, all layered up, through a customised 45-minute session, multiple muscle groups are worked upon. The regimen has been devised as a 30-day plan to enable weight loss.

Its fair to note that not all weight loss is the same extreme heat will facilitate water loss as your body sweats to cool you down, this weight loss is shortlived and will be regained once you hydrate. If youre training effectively you can lose body fat at different temperatures. However, training in cold temperatures has recently also been shown to facilitate hormonal responses that can accelerate fat loss, and keep it off.

He said the aim is to provide a structured and fun workout and nutrition plan to help committed participants embrace a healthy and balanced lifestyle and see positive weight loss. If one is prepared to put in the effort, results can come really fast, we have seen reductions of up to 14lbs in four weeks.

Snowrobics runs every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday at 7.30am and 9am. The cost: Dh90 per session or Dh1,000 for 12 sessions per month. Mats and jackets are provided by Ski Dubai on request.
