Interval Training To Burn Fat And Build Muscle

If you haven't already discovered the numerous benefits of interval training then please do yourslef a favor and read this article and see for yourself why interval training is quickly becoming the number one personal workout program for both it's fat burning potential, it's ability to build muscle strength and it's cardiac benefits.

With interval training you can give your heart a great workout, you can burn fat off your body and you can build your legs through sprinting.

If you're not at all familiar with interval training it's basically a back and forth between light jogging and an all out sprint. The great thing about interval training sessions is that they're typically very short but they pack a lot of punch for being such short workouts since you're sprinting for literally half of the workout.

You can do interval training pretty much anywhere so long as you're allowed to stretch out your legs into an all out sprint every now and again without bothering anyone... Once you've stretched out and you're warm you can begin your interval training session with a light jog. My rule of thumb is that you should be able to carry a light conversation with someone for this to be considered a light jog. You'll continue jogging for two minutes and in the meantime you should begin to prepare yourself mentally for the all-out sprints ahead...

Basically what you're going to do is jog for two minutes and then once those two minutes are up you're going to pick up your jog to an all out sprint! Sprint, or run as hard as you can for 2 minutes and then you can go back to your light jog and then again going back to a sprint and back and forth and back and forth.

Interval training gives you a ton of benefits in a fraction of the time it would take you if you were to replace interval training with individual workouts that accomplish the same results as interval training - build more muscular legs, burn fat, burn calories and a cardio workout.

Give interval training a try today and escape the monotony of another marathon session on the treadmill or stationary bike.
