Everyone knows if you want to lose fat you need to do some cardio exercise, cardio raises your metabolism meaning you burn calories for a long time after completing it. For this very reason most experts agree cardio is best performed in the morning, this means you burn extra calories all day long.
The problem is most people don’t have time to perform cardio in the morning and doing repetitive cardio is boring, interval training has been proven to help shift more fat and make better fitness gains than standard endurance training for 30-40 minutes. It can also help you retain or even build more muscle.
Below is an example interval training program that you can perform in 20 minutes a day 3 times a week, in total that makes just 60 minutes a week including stretching.
Run gently for 5 Minutes to warm up, Sprint at 100% effort for 20 seconds then walk or jog for 10 seconds repeat 10x and cool down with 5 Minutes gentle running. After a while you’ll not only find your lighter but also fitter.
