Interval Training Program in 3 Simple Steps
You’ve heard of the benefits of interval training; now is the right time for you to put it into practice. I don’t possess a gym membership! you may reply; or I don’t have the time.
Here is really a great way to interval train on a budget and with little time invested.
1. Choose your calisthenics exercise (exercise done with bodyweight alone). Here are some suggestions: running, pushups, burpees, jumping jacks, lunges, squats,… As long as it gets your heart pumping. If you already have a couple of kettlebells, add a kettlebell swing to the list.
2. For the very first time, perform your exercise till you reach your maximum capacity. Take that number and multiply it by 2.5; this will give you a objective of total quantity of repetitions you’ll want to reach in one session. For instance: I have chosen to do pushups. So I warm up by jogging on the spot whilst jabbing the air in front of me. Then I do my pushups until exhaustion, 40 in all. I now multiply 40 by 2.5 which gives me a total of 100 for my next session, separated into sets of course.
3. A couple of days later, once you’ve recovered from your first attempt, perform this exercise once again, but this time you have a objective to attain which is the number you obtained from the previous point. Remember in my situation this was 100 pushups. Now I can’t do that in a single take, so let’s say I do 40. I then take the time to recover to be able to do more, perhaps 5 minutes in my situation. Then I go once again until exhaustion, perhaps 30 much more. That gives me a total of 70 pushups, great only 30 to go. I rest a small to get my normal heartrate back then I get back to it for an additional 20 this time. I repeat till my final goal of 100 pushups is attained.
I mix up these exercises so that I don’t usually target the same muscle group. You can also do this while getting ready to go to work within the morning. The trick to time saving is to accomplish things during your rest periods in between your workouts.
Do your maximum repetitions, multiply by 2.5 and give it all you’ve got!
