Interval Training is the answer!
Interval Training is like strength training for your heart and lungs. It basically involves short bouts of intensive exercise followed by recovery periods. A simple example would be 30 seconds of hard work followed by 2 minutes of rest, this is then repeated 3 to 8 times. Interval training can be adapted to any type of activity but my favourites are sprinting, rowing and swimming.
Interval Training Benefits
- Burn more calories during exercise
- Burn calories for up to 48 hours after exercise
- Improve all 3 energy systems: Phosphate, Lactate, Aerobic
- Devastating results with only 20 minutes, 3 times a week
