Here is an interval training program that I have used to successfully rip off lots of fat from my clients.  Be forewarned this is not for beginners.  If you currently refer to “shopping” or “working in the yard” as exercise then this is not for you.  Call Richard Simmons and sweat to the oldies, this is for advanced exercisers only.

The Roller Coaster Cardio Interval

5 minute pyramid followed by a 10 minute pyramid followed by yet another 5 minute pyramid.

• WARM-UP 3 MINUTES
• Increase resistance or intensity by 1 level every 30 seconds for 5 cycles.  This will equal 2 ½ minutes
• Once you achieve the highest point then begin decreasing by 1 level every 30 seconds until you are at your beginning level.
• Increase resistance or intensity by 1 level every 30 seconds for 10 cycles.  This will equal 5 minutes
• Once you achieve the highest point then begin decreasing by 1 level every 30 seconds until you are at your beginning level.
• Then repeat by increasing 1 level every 30 seconds for 5 cycles and then decreasing as done previously.
• Cool down as needed.

This protocol will take 20 minutes not including the 3 minute warm-up and cool down.

Enjoy and reep the rewards!
