Interval Training Workout to Blast Stubborn Body Fat
by Rusty Moore
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) Find a solid treadmill, elliptical machine, or exercise bike
2) For your first 1 and 1/2 minutes you will walk at a moderate pace
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) Jog or peddle fast for 30 seconds (higher speed/resistance than the first time)
6) Repeat this for 20-30 minutes
Please Note: You are going to want to make it so it will be hard to complete your last 30 seconds of intense effort. If you find that you aren't completely breathing hard and sweating, then you need to go for another few rounds. If you do everything properly your skin should be hot, you should be sweating, and breathing hard. This is an indicator that your natural fat burning hormone, HGH, will be released. This is what will really burn off the stubborn body fat like crazy. You are going to love the results you get from interval training.
