"A simple definition of interval training is: short, high-intensity cardio excersies (using 90 to 100 percent MHR) alternated with longer periods of lower-intensity cardio (70 to 80 percent of MHR).- Jillian Michaels"
You might be wondering what your MHR, it is your maximum heart rate.
For Woman it's 220 - your age.
For Men it's 226- your age.
A good example of interval training would be going at a faster pace or steeper incline for 2 minutes and then bringing it down a bit (not too much, just enough to recover) for a minute. Then repeat up to 30-40 minutes. When I teach my kickboxing class I always throw in intervals. It helps you burn more calories, while you increase your performance. You can't go wrong with that!
