The interval training portion of your workouts is very important for fat loss. Not only has research shown that long, slow cardio doesnt work that well for fat burning, but studies also show that interval training works better to help you lose belly fat.

Unfortunately, just saying the words interval training can spare people, plus some trainers make interval training far too complicated for people who have never done interval training in the past.

The great news is that interval training can be done by everyone, even beginners, provided you have them exercise at the right level of intensity for their fitness level.

Generally, I recommend people use the stationary bike for their interval training workout simply because it is easy to transition between hard an easy and you don’t have to worry about falling off the treadmill or advanced sprinting. Also, you’ll need an extra warm-up with sprinting intervals.

In this example I am going to use the treadmill and I recommend doing your interval training immediately following your strength training. However, if you aren’t fit enough, then you can do interval training or cardio training on your off days instead. Just be sure to have 1 full day of rest. For your intervals, you will want to train 3 days/week.

Below I am going to detail 3 interval training workouts from the beginner preparation phase.

Workout A

Start with a 5 minute warm up, exercising at a slightly harder than what you’d do for a regular cardio pace. For example, if you normally do 3.5 mph, then do 3.7 mph for 3 minutes.

This would be at a subjective 7/10 intensity level. So if your regular cardio was at a 6/10, then think about that intensity and then go a little bit higher. This will allow you to exercise harder than you normally would if you went for 30 minutes straight.

After 3 minutes at a 7/10 intensity it is important to bring it down to a nice, easy 3/10 intensity for your recovery. At this pace you will remain for 2 minutes and it will allow you to work extra hard when you bring it back up to the 7/10 intensity.

Do this for a total of 3 total intervals of hard and easy, counting as one. Finish with a 5 minute cool down. This interval training workout will last a little over 20 minutes.

Workout B

This interval training workout is a little more difficult than workout A. Complete your warm up and then do 90 seconds at an 8/10 intensity. This would almost tire you out after 90 seconds at this pace, and then follow with a 2 minute recovery at a 3/10 intensity. Complete for a total of 5-6 intervals, followed by a 5 minute cool down, lasting a total of 20-25 minutes.

Workout C

This is a high intensity cardio workout. To complete workout C, you will perform 20 minutes of straight cardio at a 6-6.5/10 intensity. So this would be something that tires you out after 20 minutes and something you couldn’t do for 25 minutes. Again, begin with a 5 minute warm up, 20
minutes of cardio, and follow that with 5 minutes of cool down.

Do each of those workouts once per week at the end of your resistance training workouts and youll burn fat fast.

    just a tip which you might already know, its better to do either a full body workout, or work the same muscle groups in one workout like biceps and back usually go together, not triceps and back. it will help you so you dont overtrain. i lift 3 times a week full body workout and 3 days of aerobic training

    also!!!!! if you do it consitantly it raises your resting metabolism rate like smoking does so your body burns fat and calories a of a lot quicker.

    then do interval training. You don’t burn as much fat while doing the actual excercise BUT it causes your metabolism to sky rocket after so you burn fat while your watching to tv, sleeping, etc. you burn off way more in the long and also because of the intensity of interval training you actuall build muscle. It also lowers your resting heart rate significantly. By the way if you really want to lose weight try to eat as little bread as possible, still get some carbs in but watch your white bread.

    when i do my training i try and make it as intense as possible. i start with a slow jog on the treadmill to warm-up.
    then 3 minutes sprinting at 16kmh, then down to 10.5kmh for 2 minutes, back to 16kmh for 3, back to 10.5kmh for 2, back to 16kmh to finish, then cooldown with walking speed.
    i use the bike aswell, but i prefer the treadmill.
    it works for me though, keeps me fit enough for the royal navy anyway!

    which is better? bike interval training or treadmill interval training? in terms of efficiency for fat burning or increasing metabolism.

  16. h3aveNsHaZe Says:

    I don’t really do this, I use the highest possible incline, and usually do the workout.
    I do 3.7 for 10 Minutes, and do about 400 jumping jacks, and then some sit ups, I still have a bit of belly fat left, so I don’t do the usual sit up..I use the one where you kind of curl up, No idea..
    Anyways, After that I get back on the treadmill and finish up on punching and kicking on the bag. overall, this gets me to sweat a lot, but isn’t very intense.
