The “How To” of Burning Fat with Interval Training
One thing that I do make sure to do at least once with all of my clients is teach them the correct way to do intervals. Most people don’t push themselves hard enough, which is just a waste of time. Why not put all your effort into 10-15 minutes and be done!
I did a video this morning to show you just how hard you should be working when you are doing intervals. You will see that just in a short period of time, I am out of breath, because I am pushing myself. I do also want to mention that you don’t NEED to do the one minute high intensity followed by one minute low, that is just what I do, because I like it. You can decrease the time to 30 seconds or increase to 90 or 120 minutes, whichever you prefer! Just remember to make the recovery time equal to or longer than your high intensity.
After my taping I finished up 24.5 minutes, burning 300 calories and covered 2 miles. My last interval, I was up to 7.0mph and pushed it to a minute and a half..just to make sure I was completely done!

Interval training is the best! I use it with my client all the time. They are amazed with their body transformation and they did not spend hours in the gym! I highly recommend it!
Loved the video and am doing my interval training correctly!
Go Donna! Can’t wait to get those measurements updated! :0)
awesome job ANGIE… I love interval training… I like to start at 6.5 with 3.5 being my resting pace and work my way up to 10 at 0.5 interval gradual increases and then hold at 10 and come back down the same way… Oh man… the first time I hit “10″ I wanted to high 5 everybody around me…hahaha.. it was such a “ROCKY MOMENT”…. it doesn’t get any better than when you accomplish something you never thought possible…
because I know NOW… anything I want to do… is POSSIBLE!
intensity is definitely the key…
have a great day!
thanks for all the great posts and info as always my friend~
