Get Rid of Stubborn Body Fat With Interval Training

By: Rusty Moore
 

Losing body fat is tough at times, but it doesn't have to be. The widely popular steady state cardio typically only works for a short while, then people get stuck at a certain body fat percentage. If you want to burn off as much stubborn body fat as desired, then interval training is the answer.

Interval Training Burns a Massive Amount of Calories in a Short Time

Although it seems logical to use traditional cardio, there are problems. With traditional "target heart rate" cardio you typically only burn calories when you are engaged in the workout. With interval training you are boosting your metabolism for many hours after the workout. It has been shown that interval training can burn up to 6 times the calories compared to traditional cardio. I suggest choosing interval training to drop body fat at much quicker rate than traditional aerobic exercise.

Want to stay below 10 percent body fat and see your abs year round? Here is a great interval training workout that works extremely well.

1) Find a solid treadmill, elliptical machine, or exercise bike

2) Walk at the typical "target heart rate" pace for one and a half minutes

3) Increase the level of the machine so you are either jogging or peddling at a quicker pace

4) Go back to the same Steady State Cardio Pace for 1.5 minutes

5) After you are done with the moderate speed, you are going right back to the fast peddle or jog. You will want to go at a faster sped than the first time through. If your first 30 second round was level 9, you will want to push to level 9.5 or level 10.

6) For 20 minutes you will continue alternating between high intensity efforts and low intensity efforts

Please Note: You are going to want to make it so it will be hard to complete your last 30 seconds of intense effort. If you find that you aren't completely breathing hard and sweating, then you need to go for another few rounds. If you do everything properly your skin should be hot, you should be sweating, and breathing hard. This is an indicator that your natural fat burning hormone, HGH, will be released. This is what will really burn off the stubborn body fat like crazy. You are going to love the results you get from interval training.
