Ways to Burn More Fat: Putting Interval Training to Work for You


Congratulations on deciding to begin working out and taking your health seriously! As you begin your new journey towards health, be sure to take into account interval training. You may be wanting to lose pounds quickly or you may just want to increase your level of fitness overall. Either way, interval training is the path to success.

High intensity training offers benefits both in the short term and in the long term. In the short term, you will begin to see results immediately. But over time, you will find that it is one of the best ways that you can get into shape.

Short-Term Benefits: When looking at the short-term benefits of high intensity interval training, the first thing you're going to see is a giant jump in the metabolic rate. Immediately after performing an interval cardio workout, your metabolism will be revved on high for up to 38 hours.

This means that if you do three interval-training workouts a week, separated by one day in between each session, you'll literally experience a faster metabolism throughout the entire course of the week. Since your metabolism is a key determinant of how much fat you lose, this can quickly add up to significantly more progress.

Second, another big short term benefit from interval training is that it's going to really cut down on how much total gym time you need to be doing. With interval training you'll get in and out of the gym in about 20-25 minutes, while with your other steady state cardio training workouts you may have been in there working for 45-60 minutes at a time.

High intensity interval training is one of the best ways to make the best use of the time spent working out. By incorporating interval training, you can jumpstart your journey to fitness and health.
