I've just started adding interval training to my walking. There is no Interval training listed on myfitnesspal? How are you measuring your calories. My usual walk I usually use 3.0mph but for the interval training I do walking 3.5mph. I'm not at the point where I'm measuring by time yet. I decided if I'm going to jog or walk between light posts or trees.

    Hi,

    I do Interval training but run and walk. I do press up as well in between. Do you follow a diet plan?

    That's great. I use Leslie Sansone Walk Away...DVD's. She does a lot of interval training. It's great for when the weather is cold or crappy. Since it's starting to warm up here (Philly), I'll try outside soon.

    I usually walk outside when my schedule allows, but Leslie Sansome is my interval walking tool when I get home late from work or for inclement weather :flowerforyou:

    for recording.... say you walk 60 min but did 8 sprints on the walk. You might record 52 min at 3 MPH and then 8 min at running 7 MPH...or something like that.

    Ok, here's a silly question, what is interval training?

    Interval training mimics sports - start-and-stop motions with periods of sprinting or close-to-sprinting speeds followed by light jogging or rest. You can use interval training workouts any way you want - running, cycling, swimming, on elliptical trainers, even walking if you alternate a speed walk and slow walk.

    Thank you Tony, I never heard it explained that way. It makes sense the way you put it. I am doing intervals walking and yesterday I did them on the elliptical machine. I feel stronger and I'm hoping by Monday (my weigh day) I will have lost a pound or too. I've been stagnant.

    I don't have a diet plan I just watch my calories. I make the majority of my food at home so that makes it a lot easier.

    Thank you Tony, sounds great! I will try it :wink:
