Burn the Baby Fat

Burn the Baby Fat - The Interval Connection

Once again Holly Rigsby dishes out some good advice on the benefits of interval training to burn the baby fat more effectively....

Many women are lead to believe that the secret to burning more fat is found in the time spent doing Cardio - not just a quick jaunt on a treadmill, but a long steady, hour long bout of mind numbing cardio.

Well I have good news for you if you are tried of trying to keep up with the endless hours that yield little to no results.

Intervals! Short Burst, high intensity Intervals.

Intervals are a type of "cardio" workout where you alternate brief, high intensity periods of exercise (where you work out as intensely as you can), with active recovery periods, where you slow down just long enough to catch your breath.

The shorter, more-intense your session, the more calories you burn and you preserve lean muscle, which will make you look tight and lean as you reach your goals. In addition, the shorter, more intense sessions will have a more profound effect on the calories you continue to burn 24 hours after completing your interval session.
