Hey folks, interval training is where you start at a slow pace and increase, then decrease, then increase, then decrease and start and end with a cooling or warm-up period.
For example: on an elliptical machine
5 minutes warm-up (should not be breathing hard, should be able to talk freely)
5 minutes increased heart rate (should be breathing quickly, but still be able to carry a conversation)
3 minutes just above your warm-up level
3 minutes back up to increased heart rate
3 minutes just above your warm-up level
2 minutes at a higher increase heart rate (almost can't carry conversation)
2 minutes and just above warm-up level
5 minutes at just below warm-up level
You can apply this kind of training to just about any cardio activity. E-mail me if you need help.
Have fun with it and always see a doctor before starting any exercise program.
