Boost up your Cardio in 20 minutes!!!

Run less, lose more this summer its the perfect time for burning body fat, you must have heard of Slow and steady wins the race but when it comes to cardiovascular exercise this doesn’t apply all the time. The key for burning fat and loosing weight depends on cardio exercises and how they are practiced.

Speed Interval workouts – that’s what I have noticed and practiced it, the workout that is done at high intensity levels with lower intensity effort alternately at the same time. It helps your body to burn unwanted calories faster and quicker, it can be use in any way like running, cycling and swimming even while walking you can apply this technique. It’s the best way to keep your body fresh, energetic and also for building physical endurance.

The intensity levels can be practiced in different combinations according to your body type and stamina, the best part is that you will get benefits within 20 minutes of your interval workout but don’t do it more than twice a week as you may burn your unwanted calories but also burn out yourself.

You can practice this workout as shown below and can also build your own high-intensity interval training sessions.

3 to 5 minutes warm up
30 seconds high intensity
