    Want to get in shape? Give interval training a shot.

    Science has once again brought us a new method to work our core muscles without the monotony of just running on a treadmill or doing endless crunches. The secret has been right in front of us all along. Recent studies indicate that the most effective way to trim your waistline is through interval training – combining short bursts of intense exercise with rest periods.

    The British Journal of Sports Medicine published a study in 2019 that examined over 70 previous studies comparing interval training to steady-state cardio exercises. The findings revealed that individuals who engaged in four weeks of interval training showed an almost 30 percent decrease in fat mass compared to those who performed other forms of exercise for the same duration.

    Interval training can be done in various ways, many of which can be easily performed at home without any specialized equipment. For instance, you can do step-up exercises using your staircase or the curb of your driveway (just be cautious of any passing vehicles or curious bystanders). Remember, maintaining correct form is crucial during these workouts.

    Proper form is vital for any exercise, especially high-intensity interval training. If you’re new to this type of training, seek guidance from experienced individuals or, if possible, a fitness coach. Learning new movements correctly from the start is essential for practicing and performing them effectively.
