Hmmm, so 1 minute on and 2 minutes off? That does sound interesting. Does it have to be a super intense 1 minute though? |
Yeah, it has to be 100% for that one minute. Totally gut-busting, heart-pounding. It's called HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and it's been very much the rage the last couple of years (aka the Turbo Fire exercise program amongst others). Most of what I've seen is a minute on, a minute off. It sounds easy, but if you're really doing 100% for that minute, it's very difficult and tiring.
Another way is to build up to it with cardio for 3-5 minutes and then go hard for that one minute. Then you take a minute off to catch your breath and start off with your normal cardio for another 3-5 minutes. Then you blow it out for a minute and rest. Repeat until you puke.
