Interval training

Interval training is the best way to burn those extra calories. Interval training is a form of exercise training where you experience hard bouts of exercise followed by easier sections called a recovery. Studies have shown it causes better adaption to training. This ultimately means you get fitter faster - your fat and carbohydrate burning systems work a lot better over a shorter timeframe than if you were training normally.
How can you adopt this into your normal training? If you’re training at the gym you could adopt this form of training when on the cycle bike. For example pedalling at a level 3 as a recovery and for a short burst of 30seconds ramp your level up to 7 and try to go faster.
If you’re walking outdoors you could do a normal paced walk then a power walk for 60seconds.
If you participate in group fitness classes you are already ahead of the pack. You will be glad to know that most aerobic based classes: ZUMBA, cycle, boxing etc all follow an interval format.
Or NOW heres some fun for the weekend- try rock climbing. Now thats interval training at its finest. Scramble up the wall as fast as you can great cardio and strength work out too!
Interval training for your cardio workouts is defiantly the best option. Get cracking with your new routine today- remember if you’re not sweating you’re not working hard enough... you may as well be a couch potato!
