Summer is here! Interval cardio set- to burn fat fast!

There is a great discussion in the fitness and health world about whether or not interval training is TRULY the most effective. Personally, I have found it to bring great results and something about it always makes me feel better and more accomplished than spending 45mins on an elliptical or treadmill. Check out this article from the Mayo Clinic about interval training and then try this cardio set! This format can also be used on any piece of cardio equipment- simply modify the speeds/resistances and inclines for the desired effect.

Feel free to adjust here and there to push yourself harder! Let me know what you think!!!


Have a GREAT week and happy summer!


Train hard. Eat clean. Live happy.

  1. I think you need to do some explaining on this quick cardio routine. Are you suppose to do the whole thing? thats like 3 hours. Not so “quick”

  2. it should only take 25 minutes if you follow it just as it says. The left column denotes the time markers for each interval. Does that help?

    • Got it. The way I read it was like you should be able to do each speed for that range of time in the left column and the exercise was a sum of all those speeds for their allotted time.

      Like the Exercise would be either: Min of 182 min or Max of 207 min…which would probably be impossible for someone that doesn’t run marathons on a weekly basis.

      Thanks for clearing it up LCF! You must be the best PT in Colorado!!!

  3. [...] When it comes to cardio do 30 mins 5 days a week with two of those days being more intense. Try my Summer Interval PlanĀ for those two days a week when you need to ramp it up! for the other days stick to steady state [...]
