Interval Training Doing Interval Training Is Not Just About Doing Sprints

News Flash - Interval Training Burns Fat

 

Have you heard? When it comes to a fat burning workout it doesn't get better than interval training. Okay so maybe that's not such a big news item. But why is it that when people talk about interval training it's always about running sprints?

 

Interval Training is So Much More Than Running Sprints

 

First of all in case you didn't know doing intervals is about doing an exercise at a high intensity for a certain amount of time followed by a low intensity exercise and alternating back and forth.

 

Here is a Sample:

 

30 seconds high intensity, 1 minute low intensity 45 seconds high intensity, 1 minute low intensity 60 seconds high intensity, 1 minute low intensity 90 seconds high intensity, 1 minute low intensity 60 seconds high intensity, 1 minute low intensity 45 seconds high intensity, 1 minute low intensity

 

Don't Like Running Sprints Then What?

 

I don't like to run much myself. And with all the other options you have for your interval training why limit yourself to one thing. It makes me laugh when people talk about doing intervals, that's all you hear being talked about.

 

So What Are Our Other Options For Interval Training?

 

1) Kettlebells

2) Weight Training Exercises

3) Bodyweight Exercises

4) Medicine Ball Exercises

 

So what Exercises Can You Use For You Intervals?

 

*** Kettlebells - Swings, Snatches, Clean And Press, Cleans

*** Bodyweight Exercises - Burpees, Squat Jumps,  Mountain Climbers

*** Medicine Ball - Floor Slam, Wall Slam

*** Weight Training - (similar to kettlebells) Cleans, Snatches, Sumo Deadlift with Upright Row Combo.

 

Is There One Best Way to Do Interval Training?

 

No. There is no best one way to workout. My advice whether you workout to gain muscle or for fat burning is to use variety. As far as your intervals go I just gave you 12 exercises that you can use in your training.

 

Use only one for your selected time intervals or two or three it's your choice. You can get great results with any of the above.

 

Do I have a Favorite?

 

Yes actually I do.

 

 

About the Author

Kettlebells are my favorite although I am also a big fan of doing Burpees. Kettlebells with the overall fitness and fat loss qualities that they provide, just kind of go hand in hand with kettlebells.

 

As a Bodyweight exercise Burpees in my opinion for fat burning is one of the best fat burning exercises you can use period. You can also do burpees with kettlebells and dumbbells.

 

Metabolic Resistance Training is simply "cardio with weights" or as I call it resistance training cardio and when speaking of the most effective form of exercise for the fastest possible fat loss, this is it. In research studie it has been shown to burn 9x more fat than slow cardio.
