Fat Loss Tip of the Week from Active Personal Fitness

This week's tip talks about a short cardio interval workout that will burn calories, amp up your heart rate and give you a great post-workout calorie burn. All you need is 10-15 minutes and some room to move.

Head outdoors to a park or a local track. You can also do this on a treadmill, elliptical or indoor rower.

1. Start a clock.
2. At the beginning of every minute go as hard as you can for 30 seconds.
3. Rest for the remainder of the minute.
4. Begin the next round at the start of the next minute.
5. Repeat for 10 to 15 rounds.

You can measure your progress on a track or at a park by stopping your run and restarting at the same spot. The more distance you cover the more work you've accomplished.

If you are a beginner, then power walk for 40 seconds and rest for 20 seconds each round.
If you are advanced, then sprint all out for 20 seconds and rest for 40 seconds each round.

Be well,

Paul
