Not only is interval training more fun then your standard slow cardio 45 minute session but research is now showing that interval training is also more effective at burning fat!

If you’re not already familiar with Interval Training it works like this:

Let’s say you’re jogging (on a treadmill or on the street…it doesn’t matter), you want to divide your workout into 1 minute intervals. I like to use 1 minute intervals because I use  High Intensity Interval training. Some people prefer 2 minute intervals. Here’s how I do it:

I’ll start out by warming up and stretching out obviously…

When I’m ready I set the treadmill to a very slow jog and I do this for one minute. Once that minute is up I quickly increase the speed on the treadmill to an all out sprint usually somewhere in the 5-7 minute mile range. Once that minute is up, I return the treadmill setting to the “very slow jog” pace to catch my breath. You pretty much repeat that sequence 10 times and that’s it…

Not much to it  but it’s very effective and it’s great for people that are short on time because you can get a good workout in in like 20 minutes.
