10 Minute Fat Burning Interval

Hi friends,

Ok, like most of America I am watching the Super Bowl.

Though unlike most normal Americans I can't help but laugh at what I just saw. A "world class" athlete just intercepted a ball and ran 100 meters for a touchdown.

Now James Harrision is on the sideline be administered oxygen! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

Someone should introduce him to High Intensity Cardio Intervals! Well, in honor of the Super Bowl here is a great High Intensity Workout for you all to try this week.

I have nicknamed it after Mr. Harrison. :)

"The Stublin Steeler"

Complete the following cardio intervals on a treadmill. Be sure during your high intensity portion to be functioning at a 8-9 out of 10 percieved exertion level, 10 being as fast as you can move. During your low-intensity portion function at a 3 out of 10, or a walk.

Total Time: 10 minutes

Warm-up 2 minutes
Start with brisk walk changing over to a medium jog.

40sec High Intensity - Sprint
