Interval Training

Here is a sample interval training exercise that you should try.

This cardio routine is based on a 1-10 RPE scale (rate of perceived exertion). The intensity of the workouts and the intervals help you burn calories during and after your workout…It revs up your metabolism!

You can do this workout on the treadmill or eliptical machine. Increase or decrease the incline (or speed) according to the RPE level required. 

LEVEL 5 DOES NOT MEAN INCLINE OF 5…YOUR RPE OF 5 COULD BE A HIGHER OR LOWER INCLINE THAN THAT BASED ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE YOUR 5 ON A SCALE OF 1-10 FEELS LIKE.

 Print the cardio routines out and take them with you to the gym so you know EXACTLY what to do.

 30 minutes of cardio:

Minutes 1-3 warm up at level 1-2                                   

Minutes 3-5 at level 5                        

5-6 at level 2

6-8 at level 7

8-9 at level 2

9-12 at level 7

12-13 at level 2

13-16 at level 6

16-17 at level 2

17-20 at level 7 

20-21 at level 4

21-24 at level 7

24-25 at level 2

25-26 at level 7

26-30 at level 2

There you have it. Do this for a week and increase the duration of the workout every week.

This is good for you!
