It is 5 pm. You have one half-hour to work out.
Do you ever think: It is not even worth it to work out? I need at least an hour or longer?
If you never seem to have enough work out time (everyone raises their hand), welcome to the wonderful world of intervals!
An interval alternates faster-paced cardio with moderate paced cardio. If you are bike riding, pedal 10% faster for one block. Then drop back to your normal pace for three blocks. Alternate faster pace with normal pace for 10 minutes and you will have dramatically increased the fat-burned during the workout. Think about a sprinter’s body. Sprinters never run long distances yet stay extremely lean due to interval training.
If beginning, wait a month before starting light intervals. Since the heart rate elevates during intervals, also check with your doctor before starting intervals.
Interval intensity will increase as fitness levels increase. Always use common sense and warm up at least ten minutes before starting and cool down at least five minutes after the intervals.
