From the article: Interval Training Builds Fitness Fast
Interval training workouts are a great additional to my regular weekly exercise routine. I love to do a stair running workout once a week during the Fall and Spring as one of my high-intensity interval training days.
The right sort of interval training not only build fitness fast, but it helps you get race-ready, burns more calories and improves endurance.

High Intensity Intervals (Treadmill)
- I set a specific time goal and start by walking @4mph for 1 lap then run @10 mph for as long as I can, then drop to 6 mph for 1 minute, then repeat the 10-6 intervals until I get 2 minutes from my stop time and drop to 4 mph for 1 minute then 2mph for the final minute. I'm getting my degree in Physical Education and used this as part of a routine last year to drop 23 pounds in 4 weeks.

Circuit Training Routines
- 30 seconds to one minute each of a ten exercise circuit: push ups, jump rope, squats, lunges, chin ups, abs, high jumps (tuck jumps) and even burpees. All I need is 15-20 minutes of this and I am **done**

hill running or biking
- Hill running or cycling sprints up hills is an awesome workout that you can make as short or long as the legs and lungs allow.
