HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)
This is similar to the pyramid workout i mentioned earlier. Basically what it is, is you have time intervals, where you switch from low paced movement to high pace movement. Usually the low paced (resting time) is longer than the high. I cannot stress enough how incredible this is! It not only helps your cardiovascular system, but you burn tons of calories in half the time you would spend jogging! Please read this article, and you will see why it is so effective, http://www.intervaltraining.net/highintensityintervaltraining.html
Pyramid Interval Running
So I was doing some research on cardio and came across this fat-blasting, extremely tiring workout! It is called Pyramid Interval training. It is done with a treadmill, and is considered Anaerobic, as well as Aerobic. (visit this website to see a description of both
http://www.myfooddiary.com/resources/ask_the_expert/aerobic_vs_anaerobic.asp) What you do is try to reach a target speed, for example we'll use 9mph (this is the highest speed you will reach) so this is what you do
Min Speed
0-1: 5mph
1-2: 6mph
2-3: 5mph
3-4: 7mph
4-5: 5mph
5-6: 8mph
6-7: 5mph
7-8: 9mph (once you reach this, you start going back down)
8-9: 5mph
9-10: 8mph
10-11: 5mph
11-12: 7mph
12-13: 5mph
13-14: 6mph
14-15: 5mph
and cool down
THATS IT!!!!!!!
