So you'll be pleased to know having short rests and slow workout intervals inbetween your high energy training will help not only catch your breath back but burn lots more calories and fat!
In fact you carry on burning upto 48hours after your interval training session has finished.. thats impressive!
Not only that but it takes up 1/3 of the time your usual cardio workouts so you have more time in the day and less excuse to excercise!
Its easy and adaptable to include within any kind of excercise your interested in, here are a few simple ways you can incorporate it
Complexes involve combining 2 or more exercises and performing them consecutively without rest. For example, you may do a leg exercise, push exercise, pull exercise and a core exercise all in succession. You would take a short rest between sets and perform anywhere from 2-4 sets.
Density Training; when done correctly, this mode of exercise can be one of the best and most effective combinations of cardio and strength training. Pick up to 5 of your favorite exercises and a resistance that would equal a 10 to 12 repetition maximum. You will perform 5 reps of each exercise for a given period of time (i.e. 10 minutes). See how many total repetitions of each exercise you can perform in the predetermined time period. The motivating aspect of this mode of training is that even though it is extremely challenging, you know that you are going to be finished in 10 minutes or whatever amount of time you predetermine.
Traditional Interval Training: this mode of exercise involves determining a set ratio of work to active rest. Perform 5-10 sets of the interval. The most common ratios are 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3. For example, if you have chosen a 1:3 ratio, you would work as hard as possible for 30 seconds and active rest for 90 seconds. The ratio that you choose would depend on the goals of your training program and the energy systems involved in the sport or training that you are doing.
Many celebrities are choosing interval training into their fitness regimes rather than sticking to high intensity or yoga!
