In my opinion, interval training is the best type of training if you want to shed weight quick and get lean in weeks. During interval training you constantly switch or adjust your intensity level throughout your workout sessions. So you may ask, “How can I do this at work?” By consistently switching what you do and how you do it from day to day or even within one workout you can effectively perform interval based sessions and watch your body transform. Read on and I'll tell you how.

If you're fortunate and have a workout facility at work and can carve out at least an hour to 45 minutes you can perform the following: On the treadmill (also can apply to cycle or elliptical machines, just change the resistance instead of the speed), change either the speed or the grade (incline) of the machine, at different times throughout the duration of the walk or run. For example is you are running or jogging at a 5.0 mph for a duration of 20 minutes, then every 5 minutes change either the grade (take it higher or lower) or increase or reduce the speed.

After five minutes at this particular speed or grade readjust the incline back to the initial setting and maintain this for five minutes. Then on the next interval take the grade or speed a bit higher by perhaps .5 mph or 1 level of resistance. After a few minutes at this setting, come back down to your initial settings or even below for what we call a "recovery state." Believe me, after a 20 or 25 minute routine of interval training a regular walk/run at a "same state pace" will seem easy! If you don’t think so check out the comments of my boot camp trainees on our blog at http://blog.myequilibriumcoach.com. Do these adjustments throughout your cardio routines and BAM! You will drop weight FAST... without question! Remember, if you can't run, you can do the same sequence in a walking regimen.

Now if you don't have a workout center at work or not quite 45 minutes to get sweaty then go out for a brisk walk and perform a few manual resistance exercises such as wall sits, lunges, tree trunk pushups, tricep chair dips and flexibility stretches throughout your workout. Sure it may take you a bit longer to see fantastic results... but you will see results eventually by changing up your routine. Remember, if you're consistent and committed to your fitness programs; forget about seeing these great results. And remember if you have questions, email me at BrianL@aerobodies.com.
