You can burn more calories in less time if you do short bursts of high intensity cardio followed by a rest and then repeat.
Try this on any piece of cardio equipment you have...it can be an elliptical, stationary bike or treadmill.
Warm up for 5 minutes
- at the 5 minute mark do 30 seconds as fast as you can (intensity level of 8 to 9, where 10 is your max and you are breathless)
- then go back to an easy pace (5-6 intensity level) and catch your breath for 1 minute and 30 seconds
- at the 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21 minute marks do your 30 second sprints
- after your last sprint at 21 minutes, cool down for 4-5 minutes at an easy pace
- that should bring you to 25 to 26 minutes
Give it a try!!!
