Low on Time to Exercise? Try Interval Training.
According to the American Council on Exercise, interval training “involves alternating short bursts of intense activity with what is called active recovery, which is typically a less-intense form of the original activity. It can help you avoid injuries that often accompany non-stop, repetitive activity, and provides the opportunity to increase your intensity without burning yourself out in a matter of minutes.”
While typical cardio takes 30-45 minutes, you can complete an interval training session in 20-25 minutes. This is because you are working much harder, which also means that you are burning more calories in a shorter amount of time. Interval training also helps overcome weight loss plateaus and increases cardiovascular fitness more quickly. Try to include an interval training session 1-2 times per week, and you will see noticeable results.
What is an example of interval training? Consider this program for the stationary bike:
3 minutes: warm up with resistance at about 5-8 and RPM around 60-70.
15 minutes: for the 1st 15 seconds of each minute, increase the resistance to 12 and keep RPM in 70-85 range. For the last 45 seconds of each minute, recover at warm up intensity.
5 minutes: cool down at low intensity.

Fitness is a necessity but at the same time, this is also true that there is very small time left for taking care of our fitness. There are a few lucky ones who get this real time to visit a gym. So, most of us prefer to work on their fitness at home. This is why multipurpose home gym equipments are becoming very popular. Equipments like treadmill and vibration power plates are very popular at present just because these equipments need little time and can provide desired results.
