Interval Training
What is Interval Training?
Interval training is a new concept that is making rounds in the health circuit. It is nothing but bursts of high intensity work in alternation with periods low activity intervals. Interval training can be done in any form of cardiovascular workout (e.g. cycling, running, rowing, etc.) by alternating between high and low intensity modes. Initially it was only practiced by professional athletes but now it has become popular amongst people who exercise regularly.
How is Interval training useful?
This training is more effective at encouraging fat loss as you tend to burn more calories. The more vigorously your exercise the more calories you burn, even if it is for a short duration. Interval training also affects your energy levels and help you to exercise for longer duration. The best part is you don’t need to shed extra pounds for interval trainings; all you need is guidance and motivation.
Response of your body to interval training:
When you go in for high energy strenuous workouts you tend to exert your body and harm your muscles. During interval training you alternate high and low energy sessions which lets your body relax after a high energy session and you get charged up for another rigorous activity. This doesn’t over exert your muscles though it gives effective results.
Keep in mind:
Before you start you regime of interval training session remember to keep your body in mind. On a daily basis alter sessions depending on your stamina level, requirement and mood.

If you rush into a rigorous workout without warm-up, it might be bad for your body. Hence it is extremely essential to start with a warm-up and slowly build-up your stamina and then increase the level of intensity.
