172/365 Give Your Intervals a Tune Up

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

Music is a fun way to interval train. Make a playlist of your favorite songs to work out to. If the song goes slow on one part and fast on others, turn it into an interval. You can run for the slow parts then sprint for the fast ones. You could add an incline on the refrain. It's like Fartlek training to Fergie. For example, let's use this awesome hit by the Black Eyed Peas called "The Time (Dirty Bit)."



You could run when the guys are rapping, walk when Fergie sings, then sprint when the awesome no-lyrics part plays. It's just an idea and something you could easily figure out with your favorite tunes. It's a fun way to pass the time. After 5 songs you're already at 20 minutes! 6 songs and you're done. I've seen this done in spinning classes as well.

In health,

Lauren
