Supercharging exercise with interval training
May 25, 2017 by Regina Boyle Wheeler, Healthday Reporter
(HealthDay)—If your exercise routine isn't producing lower numbers on the scale, consider kicking it up a notch with high-intensity interval training.
The concept is simple: alternate bursts of high-intensity activity with intervals of less strenuous movement.
Doing high-intensity exercise, even for short periods, burns more calories than doing steady, moderate activity in the same amount of time, according to the American Council on Exercise. So, you can increase your intensity and your results without burning yourself out or spending more time exercising.
Here's how it works. If you're a walker, add in spurts of running or speed-walking. Walk at a slower pace for two minutes, then at the faster pace for one. Repeat the pattern until your workout is done.
