So, I've been doing long runs to keep my cardiovascular endurance up for a while now and I think it's about time for a change. I'm starting to incorporate interval training into my workouts. Interval training involves short bursts of intense exercise, with recovery periods in between. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is an extremely effective form of exercise that makes your body work hard and burns calories quick. In fact, researchers at the McMaster University in Canada found that three 20 minute sessions of HIIT a week provided the same benefits as 10 hours of steady exercise over a two week period!
Workout
Interval run: 6.01K - 31:06 minutes - Steady speed 10 for 3 minutes, high speed 14 for 2 minutes. Keep on switching between the two intensities for the workout duration.
Bike: 6.06K - 16:45 minutes - Resistance setting 15.
Bicep curls: 10kg, 3 sets of 10 reps.
4 minute light jog home and stretch.
