Are you exercising but not losing weight or getting the toned muscles you desire? Does it seem like you can’t get the body you want despite how long you workout? You may have reached a fitness plateau. Your body has become accustomed to an exercise, making the exercise ineffective.
A solution to breaking through a fitness plateau is interval training. It consist of changing the pace of an exercise. It can be applied to almost any cardio exercise including running, biking, and jumping rope. Some of the benefits of interval training include:
Burns calories
Torches fat
Builds cardio
Develops conditioning
Requires less time
Obliterates fitness and weight plateaus
Here’s how a 15-minute interval training exercise works:
Minute 0-1: Slow pace
Minute 1-3: Slightly faster pace
Minute 3-4: Slow pace
Minute 4-6: Faster Pace
Continue to alternate slow and faster paces for the remainder of the exercise.
Use interval training to break through fitness plateaus and take your body to new heights.
