**Q:** What is interval training?
**A:** Interval training teaches the heart and muscles to use oxygen more efficiently.
Alternate short burst of intense activity with lower intensity activity. For example; alternating sprints with a slow jog, or powering up a hill followed by an easy downhill slope.
You will likely burn more calories, increase your metabolic rate and your level of fitness at a faster rate than with your old familiar workout.
The following is an example of a cardio-workout that will result in a reduction of approximately 500 calories per day.
To start, do this interval work a couple of times per week, repeating the interval series five times.
1. Exercise at a rate of 3.5 miles per hour for five minutes.
2. Increase the rate to 4 miles per hour for minute.
3. Return to a rate of 3.5 miles per hour for two minutes.
Repeat this work out for as long as you can comfortably. Over a rather short period of days you will notice a difference in how you feel and how your body responds to exercise.
