Obviously, the
longer you run or lift, the more calories
you will burn. However, there becomes a point
where over exercising will cause more damage
than good. A well developed program should
take you no longer than 45 minutes a day. |

Interval Training is a cardio training session where you go
from very high to very low intensities,
all in one session. The beauty of this type
of training is that almost no muscle is
lost as a result. Studies have shown that
intervals lasting a total of 15 minutes
were more effective in changes of body composition
than longer sessions (30-60 min) of regular
moderate intensity exercise. |
