Have you ever tried Running Intervals?

Interval training is a type of discontinuous physical training that involves a series of low- to high-intensity exercise workouts interspersed with rest or relief periods. The high-intensity periods are typically at or close to anaerobic exercise, while the recovery period involve activity of lower intensity.

Interval training can be described as short periods of work followed by rest. The main aim is to improve speed and cardiovascular fitness.

Interval training can refer to organization of any cardiovascular workout (e.g., cycling, running, rowing, etc), and is prominent in training routines for many sports. It is a technique particularly employed by runners, but athletes in many disciplines use this type of training.
(Wikipedias description)



When I first started running I preferred my run on a treadmill however in the last year I have found a love to run outside and in new places.  The winter is long here in Minnesota and I still need to get my cardio in. I have found I can get it done faster and more enjoyable running in intervals.

You can really select what works for you. How long you want to run in your burst and then how long you want to go in your lower intensity.

For example:
On the treadmill; Plan to Run for 1 min then walk for 30 sec.
                          or Run FAST for 30 sec then pace yourself in a run for 1 min
Then select how long you will do this for maybe start with 10 minutes and work your way up to 20 minutes.

When outdoors you can select a length meaning you will run 3 blocks and walk for 2 blocks. Doing this time will fly by!

Remember your burst is when you are pushing yourself out of your comfort zone.  This is when you will hit your goals and make more changes in your body.

Intervals are also great when you do not have a lot of time.  Completing 15 minutes of running Intervals you will burn more calories rather then running study state for 30 minutes.  You will also build your strength and work your way up to a longer fast run.  

Intervals overall offer many benefits! Next time you hit the pavement or the gym make a fun plan for your intervals and CHALLENGE yourself!

Speachless!

It is a passion of mine to help others release weight, learn how to eat clean, feel their greatest, and crush their goals!

After being a yo-yo dieter for 7 years and not wanting my age to be an excuse I finally found the tools. I was introduced to the lifestyle of eating clean and learned why it is so important to supplement. When I knew I have found what I was missing and said good bye to yo-yo dieting I knew I had to start sharing these tools.

Each of my clients touch my heart in different ways. One thing many of them have in common is putting everyone and everything else before they take care of their selves.

Shawna was not any different she is the greatest friend to everyone and always there for them and their families!

When changing your life style, being ready to put yourself first to better your health is making that decision! That is the first step towards your success.

Did you know that being a in support group statics show you will release double the pounds rather than trying to do it on your own. I like to add that having supporters your Journey is more fun and enjoyable too. 

Last September Shawna made that decision she was ready to make a difference and that is EXACTLY what she did.


                                       Day 1             5 Months Later

In the beginning we spoke about her goals!  Having goals are essential you need to know what you are working towards and how you are going to get there. We started her with the best nutrition with our super food nutritional cleansing system,  shared with her the fundamentals of eating clean and she started working out!

I could not be anymore proud she took the tools and ran with it! Her transformation truly amazes me. Her journey is now been going on for 9 months and is maintaining her weight released.  If you ask me maintaining can be sometimes the hardest if you do not have the right tools once you do have those tools it just becomes your lifestyle and that is when you are living to your fullest!

Summer is near which means this is a time of the year many are brining on the goals.  My question for you is are you ready to Jump Start your Journey?
