Interval training is a type of cardiovascular training that combines short bursts of high intensity work with periods of rest or low intensity work. This type of training is a great way of making cardio training more interesting (compared to doing 10-20 minutes working at the same level and pace) and some studies have even shown that this type of training is more effective for fat loss then simply training at a moderate intensity for the same duration. Interval training can be done with any form of cardio workout (cycling, rowing, running etc) but below is a sample session performed on a cross-trainer.
