Interval Training info

HI I just went to the weekly meeting for the challenge I am doing at my club. The topic was Fast and Efficient Interval workouts. They said you will actually increase your resting metabolism more and for a longer period of time by doing short periods of a high intensity alternating with lower intensity work out versus 60 minutes of moderate exercise (walking on treadmill slowly)

I am not very good at science but here are some links to studies they provided us with:

They aren't up yet but they will put handouts on the club website at www.ehac.com/ilostit

I like that they included a circuit work out to do with resistance bands - that's something that can be done anywhere anytime!

HIIT workouts are extremely beneficial for metabolism and weight loss. I create my own based off of other workout programs.
