How To Burn Fat With Interval Training

By Pete Fry


There are many methods of burning fat, but one of the best is interval training! Interval training is made up of periods of effort and periods of rest. Workouts should be short and intense as this is way to get the best fat loss results!

Many people believe that long slow cardio is the best kind of training for fat loss but the lack of intensity means that the duration has to be high to see any fat loss results. On the flip-side, you can get a quality interval workout done in less than 15 minutes!

You can perform interval training in a number of ways and with a number of exercises and there are many good choices when it comes to fat loss. Sprinting, body weight exercises and resistance exercises are all good choices, but the more explosive movements are the best for fat loss.

An interval workout may look like this - warm up then repeat this sequence 4 times - Run 200m, then rest 90 seconds.

Perform the sprints as quickly as you can. Training in this way works your muscles hard and you will produce a lot of lactic acid in response. This in turn can help you burn a lot of fat. You can also perform interval with other great fat loss exercises, like burpees.

Burpees are great exercise that challenge your whole body. To perform a burpee, start standing, then crouch down and get yourself into the bottom of a pressup position. Then stand back up as quickly as possible, jump, and clap you hands above you head as you do so.

A burpee interval workout may look like this - do as many burpees as possible in 1 minute. Then rest a minute. Repeat this sequence 3 to 5 times, but go steady if you've never done burpees before as they're pretty tough!

Using interval training is a great way to burn fat as your body is working at high intensity - one of secrets to fat loss success!
