I’ve said it before (A LOT), surprising your body is THE BEST way to see results. If you have been doing the same thing at the gym for months on end, you’ve probably stopped seeing results. This means it’s time to switch it up! It’s not enough to get on the elliptical or treadmill and just do the same thing over and over again. Your body gets used to the work and starts to anticipate it and prepare for it. You want to keep those muscles guessing so that they have to work to keep up with you! A great way to so this is with Interval Training.

Interval training is great because:

• Burn maximum calories.
• Work harder for shorter period.
• Train your heart to be better and stronger.
• Turn your metabolism into a fire burning machine!

**Before you start attempting intervals, you should be able to hold a steady heart rate of around 75% – 80% for 20 minutes.
