If you are struggling to lose fat with cardio, I have great news for
you.
Men's Health expert trainer Craig Ballantyne sent me these 4
interval
training workouts to help you burn fat!
There are all types of ways to do
interval training, and research
hasn't shown us a best way yet. There is NO
best interval training
workout for fat loss, however, some of my favorites
are:
a) 1 minute on, 1-2 minutes off, repeat 6 times.
b) 30
seconds on, 90 seconds off, repeat 6 times.
c) 45 seconds on, 90 seconds
off, repeat 6 times.
d) 20 seconds on, 40 seconds off, repeat up to 8
times.
Make sure to include a warm-up and cool-down after each.
And remember, you can use all types of interval training methods
for
these workouts.
You can do treadmill running, hill walking, stationary
cycling,
sprinting outside (if you do extra warm-up), kettlebell
swings,
medicine ball power woodchoppers, rope jumping, rowing,
swimming,
or even the elliptical machine (if you think it works).
One
research study even used 8 seconds on, 12 seconds off for a
total of 20
minutes, but these short intervals are almost
impossible to do on regular gym
equipment.
