Are you ready to shake up your workout? Do you need a quick effective workout you can do from home? Do you wish you could burn more calories without spending more time at the gym? Consider aerobic interval training. This is one of the hottest ways ANY fitness level can get in a great workout in a short amount of time while getting maximum benefits!
What is interval training?
It's not as complicated as you might think. Interval training is simply alternating bursts of intense activity with intervals of lighter activity.
Take walking. If you're in good shape, you might incorporate short bursts of jogging into your regular brisk walks. If you're less fit, you might alternate leisurely walking with periods of faster walking. For example, if you're walking outdoors, you could walk faster between certain mailboxes, trees or other landmarks.
What can interval training do for me?
Whether you're a novice exerciser or you've been exercising for years, interval training can help you jazz up your workout routine. Consider the benefits:
- You'll burn more calories. The more vigorously you exercise, the more calories you'll burn — even if you increase intensity for just a few minutes at a time.
- You'll improve your aerobic capacity. As your cardiovascular fitness improves, you'll be able to exercise longer or with more intensity. Imagine finishing your 60-minute walk in 45 minutes — or the additional calories you'll burn by keeping up the pace for the full 60 minutes.
- You'll keep boredom at bay. Turning up your intensity in short intervals can add variety to your exercise routine.
- You don't need special equipment. You can simply modify your current routine.
There are many ways that you can incorporate this type of aerobic activity into your daily routines or switch things up to include this type of activity. I teach a few interval classes a week including Tabata which has short 20 second bursts followed by 10 seconds of rest in a series of 8 or Insanity that has 4- 30 second intervals followed by a rest. Both of these formats are great for those looking for interval training and variety. Check the OMC Sports Med Group Fitness schedule for more class times.
