A low impact class on the floor or using a cardio step with bursts of high intensity and strength training.
Training that combines periods of exercise with periods of rest.
An exercise session in which the intensity and duration of exercise are consciously alternated between harder and easier work. Often used to improve aerobic capacity and/or anaerobic endurance in exercisers who already have a base of endurance training.
Repeated intervals of exercise interspersed with intervals of relatively light exercise. This type of training provides a means of performing large amounts of high-intensity exercise in a short period of time.
Deliberately alternating between brief periods of lower and higher intensity levels during a workout; a method used to maximize cardiovascular endurance.
A training session that involves repeated bouts of exercise, separated by rest intervals. Depending of the length of exercise and rest periods, it may be anaerobic or aerobic training.
training system where the intensity levels are changed on a regular basis, allowing you to gradually attain a higher level of intensity.
is an exercise session in which the intensity and duration of exercise are consciously alternated between harder and easier work. Often used to improve aerobic capacity and/or anaerobic endurance in people who exercise regularly or who are physically well trained.
Workout where a person alternates between short periods of high-impact and low-impact exercise.
Exercise performed in an intermittent manner using a pre-established spacing of work and rest intervals; By changing the duration of work and rest intervals, a specific energy transfer system can be emphasized and overloaded; see aerobic intervals, aerobic threshold intervals and anaerobic intervals.
a structured method of training that alternates brief, hard efforts with short periods of easier riding for partial recovery; intervals for short.
Alternating between short periods of higher and lower intensity exercise. This type of training is done deliberately and maximizes cardiovascular endurance.
A training run that incorporates a number of runs (usually of the same distance) completed during a set span of time. The amount of rest period is typically determined by the amount of time remaining (ie: 400 Meter Intervals at 2 minutes. Every 2 minutes the runner will run 400 meters. If the runner completes the 400 meters in 1:30, they have 30 seconds to rest).
a method of physical training in which periods of activity are interspersed with periods of active recovery.
Intense athletic training designed to build speed and power.
Interval training is a common treadmill workout where the exerciser runs in intervals. Many studies suggest that this is the most effective form of fat-burning cardiovascular exercise.
A series of high-energy exercises succeeded by a period of low-intensity activity. A combination of high-energy exercise followed by a period of low-intensity activity.
A combination of alternating high and low intensity aerobic activity.
Interval training is broadly defined as repetitions of high-speed/intensity work followed by periods of rest or low activity.
