Another Reason to Add Intervals: "They're Like Magic!!"

I love interval training. It really does the job for cutting boredom and burning major calories. There are only so many times that I can harp on the benefits of something so I get excited when someone else experiences its joys. User Renees3 recently shared her new found love for intervals in the Weight Loss Support Group and I found it very motivating. She said:

So my trainer has been killing me on the bike doing interval training and I've been doing it on my cardio days, too. On my cardio days, I just do the elliptical on the interval setting, making the harder ones a bit harder than they set it to. And on trainer days, we just do 6 min on the bike, 25 sec hard as you possibly can, 15 sec rest. it's insanely hard. But I've been stuck at 161 for over a month now and I just weighed myself this morning, 159!!!!!! I'm back on track and I'm motivated again! I'm going to Hawaii in a little over two weeks, so I'd love to get to 155, but I know I might not be able to. I'm just going to keep up this interval thing, doing cardio four times a week and strength twice. I've also been doing yoga on my lunch breaks, just a 30 min DVD (Rodney Yee) that I really like. Maybe that's helping, too! But if you're stuck, try intervals!!! They're like magic!!

Have you tried interval training yet? You should, it's well worth your time.
