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.
