BURN FAT WITH INTERVAL TRAINING


I hate long bouts of cardio on machines in the gym. I see people on those things for 60 minutes and they barely break a sweat and those that do sweat, just don’t seem to ever burn the fat fast enough.

Well I have found the answer to the cardio training problem, interval training. I have used interval training for cardio a lot in the past to help me get ripped and also increase my conditioning.

I love interval training. Not only does it break up the monotony of long cardio training at the gym, but it also burns calories and fat much faster than other cardio exercises.

Interval training consists of repeated intervals of relatively high intensity followed by a longer interval of low intensity. You can use interval training with any of the cardio equipment found at gyms; treadmill, elliptical machine, stair climber or the stationary bike.

FUNK ROBERTS INTERVAL ROUTINE
Here is my sample interval routine that I incorporate into my cardio exercises. I do these one /two times per week to put some oomph into my training.



On the Stationary Bike:

5 Minutes: Level 1-4: Warm Up


30 seconds: Level 10 at above100 rpm
1:30 minutes: Level 1 at above 80 rpm


30 seconds: Level 10 at above100 rpm
1:30 minutes: Level 1 at above 80 rpm


30 seconds: Level 11 at above 100 rpm
1:30 minutes: Level 1 at above 80 rpm


30 seconds: Level 12 at above100 rpm
1:30 minutes: Level 1 at above 80 rpm


30 seconds: Level 13 at above 100 rpm
1:30 minutes: Level 1 at above 80 rpm

Repeat the hi-low intensity intervals 5 more times and then cool down for 5 minutes.

Your total workout time should be 30 minutes.



My goal is to get 10 sessions of high-low intensity intervals (10/10) with a 5 minute warm up and cool down. If you are just beginning you must work up to the 10/10. I suggest you try to get to 5/5 and increase by one every successive workout.

By adding interval training to your workouts, you will burn more calories, increase your aerobic capacity and you’ll add variety to your cardio workouts.

IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET THROUGH MY WORKOUTS, I ALWAYS TAKE MY FUNK BLAST WORKOUT FORMULA.
Infinit Nutrition and Funk Roberts have created the BLAST WORKOUT FORMULA


BLAST replaces blood glucose, fluids and electrolytes during exercise. This drink contains a higher proportion of rapidly absorbed carbohydrate, less electrolytes and no protein - BLAST's primary role is to prevent dehydration and deliver fast energy in short duration training or events.
