Get Rid of Stubborn Body Fat With Interval Training

By: Rusty Moore

Want to get as lean as you desire? Then you need a better approach to aerobic exercise. What is typically prescribed is steady state cardio at a low to medium intensity level for 30-40 minutes. Very few people have the ability to burn off stubborn body fat using this widely recommended approach. If you want to burn body fat like crazy, you need to introduce interval training into your workout routine.

Interval Training Burns a Massive Amount of Calories in a Short Time

Want to know the secret of getting lean? Burn more calories than what you eat each day. This is a proven, no fail method to getting lean. Interval training is tough work, but it is very effective at creating a large calorie deficit. You will burn calories after the workout is done because it essentially boosts your metabolism for up to 48 hours after the workout. You can't claim the same about moderate cardio.

Want to stay below 10 percent body fat and see your abs year round? Here is a great interval training workout that works extremely well.

1) Hop on a treadmill, exercise bike, or elliptical machine

2) Walk or ride at a Steady State Cardio Pace for 1.5 minutes

3) Jog or peddle fast for 30 seconds (set the resistance higher)

4) Go back to the same Steady State Cardio Pace for 1.5 minutes

5) After you are done with the moderate speed, you are going right back to the fast peddle or jog. You will want to go at a faster sped than the first time through. If your first 30 second round was level 9, you will want to push to level 9.5 or level 10.

6) Repeat this for 20-30 minutes

Please Note: You are going to want to make it so it will be hard to complete your last 30 seconds of intense effort. If you find that you aren't completely breathing hard and sweating, then you need to go for another few rounds. If you do everything properly your skin should be hot, you should be sweating, and breathing hard. This is an indicator that your natural fat burning hormone, HGH, will be released. This is what will really burn off the stubborn body fat like crazy. You are going to love the results you get from interval training.
