Burn more calories to lose weight fast in less time! Interval training is the key to an efficient Portable Treadmill workout!
Interval training with a treadmill involves alternating between high-intensity training and low-intensity training. This article explains some benefits of interval training, why it works, and how to do it. We also link to some of the best home treadmills with ready-to-go interval training programs.
Important note: Interval training isn¡¯t for every day. It could be most effective when you allow at least two days in between workouts. Give your muscles time to heal and grow!
Benefits of Interval Training
Interval training is generally defined as alternating between 85% and 70% of your target heart rate. You might have different requirements. In general though, the benefits of interval training include obvious and not-so-obvious perks. Here are five.
1. Faster Metabolism
Interval training can make your body a better fuel burner ¨C even when you¡¯re not exercising! Many factors come into play. One factor is your increased muscle mass. Another is the production of catecholamine, which helps metabolize fat. When you work out at a high intensity, your catecholamine level can be boosted for the next two days!
During exercise, you¡¯ll burn fat more too. With high-intensity training, your muscles¡¯ glycogen stock will run out quickly. Your body will shift into fat-burning mode to carry you through the workout.
2. Rapid Calorie Burn at High Speed OR High Slope
Interval training on a treadmill lets you rev up calorie burn two ways: by adjusting the speed and the slope of your intervals.
It¡¯s obvious to most of us that the faster you run, the more quickly you burn energy. But did you know how much slope can make a difference? You can walk rather slowly and still burn lots of calories! Plus, your legs can get incredible tone.
Most treadmills in our reviews have 10% to 20% inclines. Incline trainers have up to 40% inclines.
Walking at 2 mph you might burn 74 calories in 20 minutes on a 0% incline.
Ramp it up to 20% and you¡¯ll burn 236 calories in the same amount of time!
A 20% incline might be too extreme in 20-minute chunks, but it¡¯s manageable in smaller intervals. Here¡¯s an article with sample routines.
3. Better Endurance
Compared with exercising at a constant pace, training with alternating speeds is a more effective way to develop endurance. Your aerobic capacity will expand, letting you exercise for a longer time period and with more intensity. Life will be easier overall, whether you¡¯re running to catch a flight or just keeping up with your kids.
Why does this work? One reason is that interval training improves your lactate threshold. It¡¯s natural for your body to produce more lactate during high-intensity workouts, and you feel it when your muscles burn. Interval training helps you more efficiently get rid of that lactate buildup. This brings us to our next benefit of interval training: avoiding sore muscles.
4. A Solution for Sore Muscles
Intense exercise often brings muscle soreness, but interval training helps you avoid the ache! That¡¯s because it provides recovery periods during your workout. When you slow down after a high-intensity interval, your body works on eliminating waste products from your muscles.
5. Avoid Boredom
Keep your body and mind guessing! Interval training automatically brings variety to your workout routine. Your workout will be different each week to match your progress.
If you choose an interactive treadmill, things will really get interesting! With immersive video technology, you can virtually climb mountains or stroll through a real-life park.
