Interval Training Help needed

jett0206

Does anyone have any good interval training that does not involve equipment. I tried walking for 30 seconds and then running for 1 minute for 15 minutes at my school gym using the treadmill and was told that i would have to pay if i spoiled their equipment.

Burpees, mountain climbing

Look into isometric exercises. There are a ton of things you can do w/o equipment.

Get a jump rope. That's a real good one

if your school has a gym..

run up the stairs, run down the stairs, for about 1-2 mins, take a slow lap around the gym. repeat.

Yea... Burpies, Manmakers, bodybuilders (look up crossfit or sealfit) , squats using a tabata timer are great too. You dont need ANY gear for a great workout... Hit it hard !

There's always the couch to 5k program that requires no equipment at all except a good pair of running shoes.

There are dozens and dozens of exercises that require little or no equipment. (Think old school: sit ups, push ups, plank, jumping jacks, etc.) I know it's equipment... but if you have an iPod, you have an endless array of free apps available to get you going. They have great timers to do intervals (hiit, tabata, running/walking, etc.). You'll see lots of people using the C25K program. If you download the app, it will chime when your intervals change and give you good motivation. If you don't have an iPod, you can print out the program and use any stopwatch to time your intervals (or measure distances) as you run/walk. Who needs equipment? )

Exercises you can do intervals with:

Burpees
Mountain Climbers and Ballistic Mountain Climbers
Squat Thrusts
Jumping Jacks
Running Stairs
Body Weight Squats
Alternating Lunges
Quad Squats

There are probably more, but these all work. You should be able to find examples of them on Youtube.

I have a bunch of Body Weight Cardio workouts that I have done in the past 6-9 months on my blog here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/rileysowner Most require no equipment, although not all.
