Having a tough time losing body fat from those problem areas? If your current cardio program is failing you, then interval training could be your answer. Interval training, done correctly, has been proven to be the most effective way to lose stubborn body fat.

Interval Training Burns Calories Long After The Workout is Finished

Although it seems logical to use traditional cardio, there are problems. With traditional “target heart rate” cardio you typically only burn calories when you are engaged in the workout. With interval training you are boosting your metabolism for many hours after the workout. It has been shown that interval training can burn up to 6 times the calories compared to traditional cardio. I suggest choosing interval training to drop body fat at much quicker rate than traditional aerobic exercise.

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) Find a solid treadmill, elliptical machine, or exercise bike

2) Walk at the typical “target heart rate” pace for one and a half minutes

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

4) After 30 seconds back down to the slower pace you began at. Keep it at that level for one-and-a-half minutes like before

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) For 20 minutes you will continue alternating between high intensity efforts and low intensity efforts

Note: Start off the 30 seconds sprints at a moderate pace and go a bit faster for each of the remaining sprints. The last 30 second sprint should be your toughest. It is a good sign if you are short of breath, your skin is hot, and you are sweating. This is what will cause an increase of HGH in your body. Some people call this the “HGH flush”…this is what you are aiming for. Interval Training is tough, but you will love the results!

As you make your journey through pregnancy to birth, your body is going to undergo many changes.

To help you to create a pleasant and healthy atmosphere for your baby as well as to reduce your recovery time, it’s very important to exercise during pregnancy.

Having a good pregnancy workout can help to reduce stretch marks. It will also lessen the development of that ugly cellulite. It is possible to reduce the feelings of being fat, out of shape, and unattractive. There is a plethora of info written on pregnancy and babies, much less help and information is accessible for pregnant women looking to lose pregnancy weight.

It’s pretty easy to change your current exercise routine into a pregnancy workout. Here are some tips:

Most important, be sure to get the approval of your doctor before beginning or continuing exercise during your pregnancy. Be sure to immediately stop any pregnancy exercise routine if it should become painful or fatiguing. Your goal should be to maintain your current condition as opposed to improving your physical appearance. Avoid doing exercises that can put your or your baby at risk if you fall or get impacted in your stomach. It’s important to do your exercise routing with a partner if possible. A good warm up and cool down is essential and will make your pregnancy exercise routine more effective.

A few of the exercise programs that are safe for most pregnant women are stair-climbing, stationary biking, plain walking, and swimming. Pre-natal aerobics classes are good, as well. It is generally safe to swim and walk right up until your baby is delivered.
