Interval training: the 8 second miracle??
If you were
unsure of the benefits of interval
training, this may change your mind!
If your exercise routine isn’t tailored to your body type and weight-loss needs, you’re probably huffing and puffing for nothing. Make exercise work for you: Target your exercise routine to your circumstances and actually lose more weight with less effort!
The study compared overweight women exercising at a continuous, regular pace for 40 minutes with women on a 20 minute interval cycling regimen.
The success was found to be due
to higher levels of catecholamines (hormones released when the body is
stressed) produced during this method of interval training.
Scientists are hoping to apply
this method to other forms of exercise such as walking and swimming, and think
that the method will be able to target specific areas of fat accumulation in
the body, such as buttocks.
The next phase of the study is to
combine this interval training method with the Mediterranean diet in the hope of even better results.
Because the key lies in the exact
8 second/12 second intervals, timing is vital.
But how easy is it to keep such a close eye on the time when you are
sprinting? Now they just need to invent
a treadmill that will do the counting for us.
Next time you are on the bike or the treadmill, give it a go and let us know how you went!
