Get Rid of Stubborn Body Fat With Interval Training
By Rusty Moore | February 2, 2010
Losing body fat is tough at times, but it doesn’t have to be. The widely popular steady state cardio typically only works for a short while, then people get stuck at a certain body fat percentage. If you want to burn off as much stubborn body fat as desired, then interval training is the answer.
Interval Training Burns a Massive Amount of Calories in a Short Time
Interval Training is tough work which burns more total calories than traditional cardio. A very basic approach to losing weight is to burn more calories than what you consume in a day. An intense session of Interval Training will raise your metabolism for a few hours after the workout. The total calories burned will be much greater than if a more moderate form of cardio was used.
I have used different variations of this basic interval training workout for 6 years. This allows me to have six pack abs year round. It works very well!
1) Hop on a treadmill, exercise bike, or elliptical machine
2) Walk at the typical “target heart rate” pace for one and a half minutes
3) Increase the level of the machine so you are either jogging or peddling at a quicker pace
4) After your 30 seconds of harder effort is up, back it down to the exact intensity level you began at and repeat for 1.5 minutes
5) After you are done with the moderate speed, you are going right back to the fast peddle or jog. You will want to go at a faster sped than the first time through. If your first 30 second round was level 9, you will want to push to level 9.5 or level 10.
6) Repeat this for 20-30 minutes
Note: Start off the 30 seconds sprints at a moderate pace and go a bit faster for each of the remaining sprints. The last 30 second sprint should be your toughest. It is a good sign if you are short of breath, your skin is hot, and you are sweating. This is what will cause an increase of HGH in your body. Some people call this the “HGH flush”…this is what you are aiming for. Interval Training is tough, but you will love the results!
