Getting Back on Track Part 2

INCLUDE ALL LEVELS OF TRAINING INTENSITY
Once you have developed a cardiovascular base, add one short and intense interval workout, as well as one to two moderate-length and moderately intense workouts. (Interval workouts involve fast-paced exercises interspersed with bouts of cardio to keep you in the “Zone”)
Adding intensity not only raises your level of fitness but helps you avoid hitting the dreaded "plateau" if you are trying to lose weight. Remember to still include longer, moderately intense workouts in your program; they will aid in recovery and training adaptation.
Below are cardiovascular guidelines to help design your weekly routine.
Structure one intense interval workout into your program each week. These workouts should last between 20 to 30 minutes. During these workouts your breathing is heavier and your heart rate much higher, try to stay in 65%-85% of your target heart rate. These workouts will definitely be above your comfort zone or where you would prefer to exercise so have patience with yourself when beginning this new approach.
Structure one to two moderate-length and -intensity aerobic workouts each week. These sessions should be 40 to 50 minutes. The level of effort in these workouts should be comfortable but challenging.
Finish each day of exercise with a 25-45 minute bout of cardio, this will further your cardiorespiratory health as well as condition you to become a better and more efficient fat burner.
