Not only is interval training more fun then your standard slow cardio 45 minute session but research is now showing that personal fitness training in the form of 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 a High Intensity Interval personal fitness training regimen. 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 a 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… personal fitness training at its best! 1 minute at each different intensity basically for ten times.
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. You won’t find a better personal fitness training workout or program in under 20 minutes anywhere!
And the great thing about this form of personal fitness training is that it can be done anywhere. Just this morning I ran some interval at an open trail by my house with my dog.

A busy schedule makes it challenging for me set aside a solid block of time for exercise. I’ve heard that breaking workouts into smaller increments can help, but does this really work?
It works so long as the workouts are more intense and that’s where programs like interval training can provide you with short but effective workouts in short amounts of time.
Focus on working out 2-4 times a week with each workout spanning about 20-30 minutes.
