Thursday List: 4

Here are more ways to build in intervals in our workouts:

 

1.     Add hills.  These can be real hills if we are walking/running/hiking/biking outside or pretend ones on the treadmill.

2.     Mix in a minute of cardio when weight training every so often.  This can be something as simple as jumping jacks or we can hop on the treadmill and run for a minute.

3.     Make it complicated.  We can amp up our usual lunges, say, by adding a bicep curl to overhead press.  Squats can acquire an extra leg lift to the side each time.

4.     Change the tempo.  Do most of the workout at an even tempo, but every few exercises make it faster before returning to normal.
