Getting in shape fast with interval training
Athletes use interval training to simulate game-like conditions. Their intervals are specific to the intensity, duration, and recovery times that they will experience on the field. This allows them to train their bodies to use the appropriate energy systems and prevent fatigue. Endurance athletes and distance runners use interval training, or "speed play," to lower their times, prevent overuse injury and stave off fatigue.
Interval training is the perfect workout when you're short on time. It allows you to decrease the length of time spent exercising by increasing the intensity of your workout, therefore allowing you to gain more benefits in a shorter amount of time.
Interval training adds a new element to your fitness program especially if you're used to doing long, slow cardio sessions. Studies have shown that you burn more fat and calories through interval training. The strength you gain from mixing intervals and recovery allows you to perform more work at a more intense level. This in turn increases your excess post oxygen consumption, revving your metabolism. So get out your stopwatches and add some intervals to maximize your fitness.
