High Intensity Interval Training
Now that was fun. Last night I started a new thing I call it the 5.6.7.8. training on the treadmill. This is how it goes;
Start with 5 miles per hour for 1 minute. Then 6 miles per hour also 1 minute, all the way to 8 miles per hour 1 minute and slow down to 5 miles per hour for 1 minute and repeat. That means every minute you go a different speed. Do this as a total of 30 minutes and you know you worked out. The whole thing is to give your body a boost. Unfortunatly my heartbeat does not even go beyond 123 beats per minute but I can still feel it.
It is something different for sure and I like it, nice to break the standards.

I like to do HIIT for 10 minutes, rest 5 minutes, then do 20-40 minutes of steady state cardio at a low to moderate intensity level.
The HIIT training followed by 5 minutes rest releases fatty acids into the blood stream. The steady state cardo then uses those fatty acids for fuel. It is kind of a “hybrid” approach to get the best out of both forms of cardio.
This method is especially effective for reaching low body fat levels and targetting “stubborn body fat”.
