Intervals

When was the last time you did intervals? I might sound like a broken record on here about intervals, but it's the biggest fat blaster. And who doesn't want to blast fat? That's what I thought. Try this one out from fitnessmagazine.com

Total time: 16 (advanced) to 29 (beginner) minutes
Speed up for the number of seconds listed for your level (advanced or beginner), then go at an easy pace for a minute or two to recover. Repeat 8 times for a complete cardio session.

Warm up for 5 minutes: 3 minutes light walk or jog - 30 seconds at half effort - 30 seconds light walk or jog - 30 seconds at 75 percent of maximum effort - 30 seconds light walk or jog.

Choose one of the levels below and repeat 8 times to complete your session.

Level	Sprint	Recovery
Beginner	60-second jog	120-second walk
Intermediate	30-second sprint	60- to 90-second walk
Advanced	20-second all-out	60-second walk

Lola says- if you're on a treadmill remember to always have your treadmill on at least a 1 or 2 level incline. This makes it more real as if you were running on pavement. Otherwise the pull of the machine is too strong.

This is a very basic version of intervals, but sometimes it's good to just go back to the basics. If you were serious about these, and did an interval workout 2-3x a week, with the longer endurance runs on alternating days, you would change your metabolism and your figure.

Have fun burning all that fat! Cardio. Intervals. Best Cardio Workout. Run. Running. Best Running Workout.
