Interval Training

Whether you are starting from scratch, play a pick-up game weekly or are a gym rat – you want to turn it up a level prior to the honeymoon. You can bet she is doing everything she can to fit into that wedding dress and to look her hottest. Don’t disappoint by showing up to the honeymoon with an extra five pounds you picked up during all the partying. You are going to be busy in the two months before the wedding with all the last minute planning, coordinating with relatives and tuxedo fittings. Interval training is something you can do 2-3 times a week for 30 minutes – and see some dramatic outcomes in just 6-8 weeks. Here is how it works – you need to get your heart rate to its “maximum” for about 30 seconds, and then do it again about eight times. When you do this, you will increase your metabolism throughout the rest of the day, burn fat and also build muscle. The easiest way is with windsprints. There is no equipment involved and you can do it right outside your front door. First do a five minute jog to get your muscles warmed up. Then, pick a starting point on the street or sidewalk with a flat surface about 50 yards long. Sprint for 30 seconds – starting out medium speed and increasing your speed the whole way. After 30 seconds, stop and walk back to your original starting point. This should take you about 90 seconds. Once you get back to the starting point, turn around and do another 30 second sprint. After about 6 cycles you will notice it getting really really hard. This means you are getting real results. After the eighth cycle, do a 5 to 10 minute cool down walk around the neighborhood. Do this simple 30 minute workout 3 times a week and watch you body begin to change. It will be hard for the first two weeks but get easier as you go. You can also replace some of the sprints with jumping high in place to provide some variety.
