I Love Interval Training – Interval Training Works For Me – Join the Turbulence Training Movement & See Results FAST

It is really easy to feel demoralized and depressed when you have lots of weight to lose.

I know because I used to be 50 pounds OVER my ideal weight.

I wanted to be thin but because I had so much weight to lose it felt impossible.

My extra pounds effected my self esteem – I felt awful about my body and I tried to cover it up with baggy clothes and big coats (even in the summer).

I don’t know about you….but I wanted fast results when I was dieting…

I need to see something happening (read: weight loss) to keep myself on the healthy path.

When you have a lot of weight to lose it can seem like you are going to have to diet forever to ever get to your goal – so seeing results on the scale and in the mirror can be very motivating to stick with your program.

I used to follow the pack when it came to exercise

I followed the experts for many years that said we need to exercise longer if we want to lose weight and keep it off.

The "experts" were saying we needed to exercise 60 – 90 minutes a day just to maintain weight we have lost. I bought into that for years and I did the workouts even when it meant getting up at 4 AM to get it done before work.

Newer research is now saying that INTENSITY of exercise is more important than DURATION of exercise for losing weight rapidly and keeping it off over the long term.

The new research is proving out that interval training or high intensity sprint training can help you lose weight more quickly and get fitter faster.

First, what is interval training?

Interval training or sprint training requires you to alternate high intensity exercise "sprints" followed by slower paced exercise for recovery.

There are many different ways to do interval training.

The most common interval training workouts uses timed intervals (usually 1-2 minutes per interval) as a method of measuring each segment of your sprint training workout.

Example of an interval training workout:

5 minutes: warm up at an easy to moderate effort

2 minutes: increase your intensity to just short of full-out exertion

2 minutes: recuperation period at about 1/2 the intensity of your high intensity interval

Repeat 4 times the 2 minute intervals shown above

3 minutes: cool down

Most exercise machines have pre-programmed workouts that use interval workout training so it is simple to learn what interval workouts are when you are new to them.

So how can interval training help you lose weight fast?

Here are some of the facts from the clinical research on interval training:

- Canadian Research reports that just 2 weeks of interval sprint training increased women’s fat burning ability by over 35%

- Sprints or high intensity intervals during exercise in a British study showed levels of human growth hormone (hormone that helps build muscle and get rid of fat) to be over 500% higher than workouts with no interval training

- Shorter, more intense workouts caused subjects in clinical tests to get more fit (more muscle growth) in less time than exercisers who did steady state moderate exercise for longer workout times.

- Interval training targets more of your muscle than average exercise does. The more muscle that is used in a workout the more your body responds by burning more fat and increasing your oxygen efficiency and boosting your metabolism.

This is good news!

Especially since the majority of us can hardly find 60-90 minutes to work out each day of our busy lives.

How does a 30 minute interval training workout that gives you much more calorie burn than a traditional workout sound to you?

Which result would you choose?

1-Walk 30 minutes at a steady modest pace and you will burn an average of just over 100 calories.

or

2-Do that same 30 minute walk but add in eight 30-second jogs or higher speed walking sprints and you will burn over 150 caloris.

You will also experience a much higher metabolic burn after an interval training session and that additional calorie burn will last a lot longer than when you do a lower intensity exercise workout.

If you are out of shape or have never done any interval training, you may want to start by adding 2 – 3 high intensity intervals per workout and then work up to 8 – 10 per workout.

Of course, check with your doctor before you begin any exercise program.

Then get off your couch and go for it! Get speedy weight loss and get more fitness in less time with interval training.
