"Don't let what you can't do interfere with what you can do." Thanks to pinterest I found this great quote and I couldn’t agree more. So what CAN you do to amp up your workout? The answer is interval training! It’s quick and intense but the rewards are huge.
Here’s what to do:
- Alternate periods of balls to the wall-can’t-talk-effort with periods of recovery. For example: 4 minutes of quick speed walking and 3 minutes of slower walking (active recovery). Now Repeat that sequence at least two to three times during the session.
- If walking isn’t your thing you can still throw intervals into whatever kind of workout you enjoy. Try to alternate 1 minute of super-effort with 9 minutes of taking it slightly easier. Repeat the sequence for 30-40 minutes total.
