Interval Training - A Great Way To Burn Fat

By Pete Fry


One of the best ways to burn fat is by using Interval Training! Interval training is periods of work followed by periods of rest. Interval workouts are short but intense are a great way to get amazing fat loss results fast!

If you've been trying to burn fat by jogging then think again! The problem with slow cardio like jogging is that you have to do a lot of it before you burn any fat. An interval workout, on the other hand, can take only 15 minutes!

Interval training can be performed in a number of ways and you can use a number of different exercises when using intervals. Running, squats, pushups and dumbbell exercises can all be used in an interval session, but the more explosive the movements are, the better.

To perform a running interval workout, conduct a full warm up and then complete the following 4 times - Sprint 200m, then rest 90 seconds.

Your sprints should be as fast as possible. Working out like this makes your muscles work hard and your body will produce a lot of lactic acid, which in turn can lead to great fat loss results. You can also use other exercises in an interval format and get great fat loss results. Burpees are a great choice for example.

Burpees are a great bodyweight conditioning exercise. To perform the burpee, start in a standing position, then crouch and place your hands down on the floor in front. Kick back your legs so that your body is straight - like he top of a press up. Then drop down to floor and do a pressup. Kick your legs back in, stand back up, jump, then clap your hands above your head as you jump.

A burpee interval workout would look like this - complete as many burpees as possible in a minute. Rest 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat this sequence 3 to 5 times. Burpees are extremely challenging so go steady if its your first time!

Workouts like this are great for fat loss as they are focused around high-intensity training, which is one of the keys to achieving great fat loss results!
