Moderate Interval
(30 minute default)
As you begin to exercise on a regular
basis and feel your fitness improving you will be ready to begin doing "Moderate
Intensity Interval" workouts. Remember in this workout you alternate between an
easy recovery interval and a higher intensity interval. You should feel comfortable
to push yourself as you are never too far away from an easier recovery interval.
This workout will improve your overall aerobic endurance while also maximizing
anaerobic fitness development.
Long Interval
(40 minute default)
Long Interval workouts are great to
maximize calorie burn and improve anaerobic fitness. As in the Moderate Interval
workouts, remember you have a recovery period after each higher intensity
interval so you can comfortably push yourself to exercise at a progressively higher
level.
Negative Interval 1
(30 minute default)
The Negative Interval-1 workout
provides the benefits of a Steady Pace workout but pushes you to slowly obtain a
progressively higher steady state exercise intensity and then allows you to slowly
decrease the exercise intensity. As your fitness level improves, you can slowly
push yourself to a higher peak in overall exercise intensity.
Negative Interval 2
(30 minute default)
The Negative Interval-2 workout has
been designed to provide your body with a workout that begins with a slight
increase in exercise intensity and ends with a progressive decrease in intensity. A
workout with an increase and decrease in intensity will most ideally develop your
overall aerobic cardiovascular endurance. A workout that decreases in intensity
is also ideal for maximizing calorie burn, but most ideally when done for a longer
duration, such as 40 or 50 minutes.
