How are things going? Great, I hope! On a personal note, a version of the 1 inch in one week arm blasting article I wrote will be appearing in the next issue of Body Talk. In fact, I'll be in the upcoming issue twice because it will also contain my interview with Marzia Prince. You've probably seen Marzia in ads for Gaspari Nutrition. Now, let's talk about my favorite form of cardio, high intensity interval training, or power cardio. Faster Fat Loss with High Intensity Interval Training You may know have heard of interval training by its more popular name - High Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT. I like to refer to it as Power Cardio. Why Power Cardio? Because this type of training is one of the best things you can do to build power, muscle mass, speed, strength, endurance, and lose fat! Proper power cardio can give you the best of all worlds. A brief explanation of this training is that you do just that - train in intervals, by alternating a brief period of exercise with a brief period of rest. And the overall length of your workout are much briefer in duration than your typical aerobic sessions. Power Cardio will - 1 - Burn more calories by elevating your metabolism so you lose fat faster 2 - Increase your power 3 - Increase your speed 4 - Increase your endurance No matter what your fitness goals, power cardio is one of the best ways of helping you achieve them. And the variations are endless. You can vary the training parameters (exercise to rest ratio, number of intervals) to make the workouts harder or easier, depending on what you are trying to accomplish. You can also use any number of exrecises for your training, such as cycling, sprinting, treadmill, elliptical trainers, jump rope, rope climbing, hill sprints, and more. Don't continue doing endless hours of aerobics that aren't helping you reach your goals anyway. Get more out of your cardio workouts by performing interval training. If you want to build muscle, lose fat and get fit fast, you need to add power cardio to your program. Here's a couple of great training programs that I like. Luckily for me, I have a hill just down the road that is perfect for interval training. I jog over to the hill. This takes about 4 - 5 minutes and serves perfectly as my warm up. Then I sprint up the hill to the top. This takes me about 15 - 20 seconds. I turn around and walk back down, which serves as my rest interval. I then repeat for a certain number of intervals and the jog (or walk) home serves as my cool down. Another great interval training program is jumping rope. You may need to practice a bit on this one. After a brief warm up, I will jump rope as fast as I can for about 10-20 seconds, followed by a slower cadence for about half a minute. This form of interval training is brutal and will get your heart rate up fast! You won't last long on this program. Always warm up before starting your intervals. If you're not in the best of shape break into it lightly, starting with more low or moderate intensity cardio. You might also want to check with your doctor. No sense in getting hurt right when you start your interval training. Good luck! I'd love to hear your results and questions.
