What's Interval training?
Runner's have been using this technique for years. To boost there performance. And, it really work's fast. You'll want to have a good base for your workout's before starting.
Interval training can be an effective way to boost your fitness level. Unless there is a medical reason not to do so, try 1 minute of more intense exercise mixed into your regular aerobic exercise sessions. For example, after a good warm-up, if your walking. Once you've been walking for at least 15 minutes. keep walking at a moderate intensity. Every say 5 minutes, do the next 1 minute at a faster pace. Repeat the cycle. Do this a couple time a week and you'll start to see real results.
This is a good way to work up to running. It's hard to just hit the road and start a running program. Do it this way. Start by walking, once you've gotten to 3 or more miles at a fast pace. Do 1/4 mile runs. Or after walking at a good brisk pace for at least 15 or 20 minutes run for 5 minutes. This gets your hart rate up, then walk again once your hart slows down, then repeat. The last 1/4 mile or 15 minutes walk for a proper cool down. Interval training is another word for cycle training. One of the added benefits is you get a great workout in less time. You won't miss that days workout. And, you'll feel great.
Have you just started or have you been doing this for years? let us know how it's going. We would love for you to share.
