Instead of setting your machine or your stride at the same pace and just going at it for half an hour or so, use interval training for better results and less boredom. Start each cardio session with an easy pace on the machine of your choosing, then, after a 3-5 minute warm-up, increase your difficulty level every for a period of 30 seconds before dropping back down to your original warm-up level for 30 seconds, then repeat.
We suggest beginners start with 15 second intervals for their “fast” pace and 45 seconds on their “easy” portion of each interval, working to reverse that order incrementally with time. Always remember to end each interval cardio session with a cool-down of 3-5 minutes as well.
Interval training can be used for any type of cardio, whether done indoors on a machine or outside with no equipment. It is the BEST means of cardio available to provide a lean, strong body!
