The importance of interval training.

Just one thing to share today and that's the importance of interval training. Have you ever committed to get in shape and then hopped on a stationary bike or treadmill and then ended up seven minutes into it feeling bored as hell? Well I have. When I started last Monday, I jumped on the bike after workout for thirty minutes of cardio and just pedaled along for the full time. By the time is was over, I had stared a hole in the clock. The next day one of the trainers had me do some interval training. This is done by pacing for a minute at normal pace and thirty seconds at a high intensity. As mentioned in an earlier post, interval training helps condition your heart to recover faster and builds better cardiovascular health. More importantly, it pretty much kills your boredom. With the intervals, you spend most of your time sprinting and recovering and time literally flies by. Furthermore, your heart rate stays at a much higher average so you get more cardio benefit. So the next time you're ready to hit a machine or even take a walk, try interval training. Who knows, you might start to have fun when you exercise. I certainly am.
