More on Interval Training

MSNBC released an article on a study done in London on people who benefit from Interval Training.

It is proven that if you exercise at a high intensity level for four minutes with a three minute rest you can reach your goals faster. You only have to exercise for 45 minutes instead of 60 minutes or more with the same results.

"Using interval training, Nicholls got into top shape last year in about six weeks, using weekly 45-minute sessions. He estimates the same level would have taken about three months via regular training."

There are some days that I push myself to work harder, but there are other days that I have to push myself to even get on the treadmill or elliptical. I am going to try it out next week. Hopefully it will not only help me get into shape faster, but help me lose weight faster (I think I said that I would try this type of workout last time I posted an article on Interval Training. Oh well).

5 Minute Workouts and French Fries

Sorry I have been MIA lately. I have been busy working on websites and working toward my health goals. I am very active at the Active For Life program. I am back at the gym at work (which is free, I love free).

My co-workers sent me a couple of good websites to help you become more healthy and I thought that I would share.

5 minute workouts with Bob Harper. I am going to start doing some of these. Maybe I can shrink my tummy before April with the Desk Crunches.

If you need French Fries, go to the article by Eat This Not That to find out where to get the healthiest fries.

I have to say that watching the Olympics is giving me some incentive to get to the gym. You will never see me on skis or ice skates, but I would like to be that healthy.
