What are intervals? I’m trying to get in shape too! Lots of good info here!
Well...my intervals used to be on a treadmill....warm up for 3 minutes at about 4mph....then ramp it up in speed so heart rate goes up...do 30 seconds as fast as possible (or until heart rate gets to appropriate level - depends on age)...then back down to 4mph for 90 sec...then repeat another 7 times...then cool down about 3 min. Total time is about 22 min. Now I do the same on an Elliptical...as my hip was having problems with the running.
Someone posted above about doing Tabata...which looks like weight lifting intervals that only take about 3-4 minutes....I may look into that. I really would rather do other things than “exercise.”
