Many people expect that a low calorie diet, coupled with 30 minutes of biking or jogging each day will help reduce the amount of fat around their belly. Sadly, that is often not the case. Workouts involving sustained cardiovascular activity, while beneficial as a form of overall health training, often fail to reach the stubborn, visceral belly fat which is so difficult to burn. If you want to get rid of belly fat, and dieting and your current workout routine are not producing the fat-burning results you desire, perhaps it’s time to look at changing things up a bit.
Because belly fat tends to lie deeper within the body, many standard workout routines are ineffective as a means to get rid of it. To combat this problem, more and more fitness experts are beginning to recognize the benefits of interval training.
Interval training is a method or branch of cardiovascular training involving bursts of high intensity activity, followed by short intervals of either low activity or complete rest. This method can be applied to any type of cardiovascular activity. Running, cycling and rowing are some of the most common activities in which intervals are used.
