Ups and Downs
Need to ramp up your workouts???? Try interval training. It will not only challenge you physically, it will also refresh your routine. You can do intervals with anything you are doing...for example, if you are lifting weights, you may want to add in 1 minute intervals of jump rope in between sets. If you usually go walking for exercise, try walking at a brisk pace for 3 minutes then jogging for 30 seconds and then returning to your brisk pace for another 3 minutes, and so on. Your body will benefit tremendously from the valleys and peaks in your heart rate as well as the change to your fitness regimen. Challenge Yourself...Live Well!!!

Intervals rule. Especially if you are on a treadmill or stationary bike. Take it from boredom watching the clock when you are moving at a steady pace to intermittent pain and recovery with the minutes flying by when you are doing intervals.
