Interval Training

Want to increase the amount of fat that you burn? Try to incorporate “interval training” into your workout.

What is “interval training?” It's the change of intensity of your aerobic activity for brief intervals that range from 15 seconds to 5 minutes. You participate in an interval of all-out aerobics and then slow it down for an “active” recovery. You can use interval training with any cardiovascular workout including walking, running, swimming, rowing or biking. According to many experts, interval training is more effective in losing fat and strengthening your heart than just maintaining a steady pace throughout your workout.

An example of interval training could look something like this:

· Walk for 4 minutes
· Run for 45 seconds
· Return to your walking speed for 4 more minutes
· Repeat these steps for 30 minutes

As your fitness level increases, you can add to the intensity of the workout and/or increase the duration.

Interval training is a great way to get the most out of your workout by helping you to burn more fat and stay healthy.
