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!

Long slow cardio like jogging is commonly thought to be the best kind of training for fat loss but you have to do a lot of it before you see any results. Conversely, a quality interval workout can take only 15 minutes!

You can perform interval training in a number of ways and with a number of exercises and there are many good choices when it comes to fat loss. Sprinting, body weight exercises and resistance exercises are all good choices, but the more explosive movements are the best for fat loss.

Here's how to perform an interval workout - warm up fully and then do this for a total of 4 times - Sprint 200m, then rest for 1 minute 30 seconds.

When you sprint, go as quickly as you can as training like this works your muscles hard, meaning you'll generate lots of lactic acid - a precursor to fat loss! You don't have to stick to sprinting though - you can also use exercises such as The Burpee.

To perform a burpee start from a standing position, crouch down and place your hands on the floor in front of you. Then kick your legs back so you end up in the top of a press up position. Lower your body to the floor and perform a press up. Then kick your legs back in. Stand up, then jump and clap your hands above your head.

A burpee interval workout may look like this - do as many burpees as possible in 1 minute. Then rest a minute. Repeat this sequence 3 to 5 times, but go steady if you've never done burpees before as they're pretty tough!

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!
