Interval training combines short, high intensity bursts of speed, with slow, recovery phases, repeated during one exercise session and has been used by athletes for years to build fitness. This type of training works both the aerobic and the anaerobic the high intensity efforts, the anaerobic system uses the energy stored in the muscles (glycogen) for short bursts of activity.
Interval training leads to many physiological changes including an increase in cardiovascular efficiency (the ability of your heart and lungs deliver oxygen to the working muscles) as well as increased tolerance to the build-up of lactic acid as well as providing a high calorie burn workout! These changes result in improved performance, greater speed, and endurance. It can also reduce the risk of injury associated with repetitive overuse which are common in people undertaking endurance training/sport. Intervals will also allow you to increase your training intensity without overtraining or burnout.

I joined Richmond Personal Training just 10 weeks before my wedding because trying to work out on my own was getting me no where. After losing 10 lbs last year, I had plateaued and couldn't even find the motivation to work out anymore. I told Mitchell, the owner and my trainer, that I wasn't expecting miracles because there wasn't much time, but that I'd like to lose 10 more pounds.
