Interval Training Alternates High and Low-Intensity Exercise to Boost Fitness; Start by Selecting Exercises and Intervals.

What Is Interval Training?

Choose Your Exercise

Decide on the type of exercise (running, cycling, bodyweight exercises).

1

Determine Your Intervals

Start with a ratio like 1:1 (e.g., 30 seconds high-intensity, 30 seconds low-intensity).

2

Warm-Up

Begin with a 5-10 minute warm-up to prepare your body.

3

Intensity

Ensure high-intensity intervals are challenging but manageable.

4

Progression

Gradually increase the intensity or duration of high-intensity intervals as you build fitness.

5

Cool Down

End with a 5-10 minute cool-down to lower your heart rate gradually.

6

Frequency

Aim for 2-3 interval training sessions per week, with rest or low-intensity exercise on other days.
