Interval Training

We are always looking for the best way to burn fat with the least amount of effort.  It is often hard to find hours to go to the gym with work, family, etc.  But we do it so we can look good.   Well with interval training, it is possible to work out a shorter amount of time, and actually burn more fat.

Interval training works on short bursts of high intensity exercise followed by a short rest period, repeated.  There are variations in the length of time for each, but all accomplish more than a steady 40 minute high intensity work out.  There are a few interval training work outs that only require 15 to 18 minutes total time.

You start out with a 5 minute warm up and then interval train with intervals of 2 minutes high intensity, 2 minutes low intensity, or 1 minute high intensity, 30 minutes low intensity or 1 minute high intensity, 2 minutes low intensity and the most dramatic, 20 seconds high intensity, 10 seconds low intensity.

If you notice there are different ratios and there are different theories on each, but one thing is certain, they burn a load more fat than walking on a treadmill for an hour at the gym.
