Fitness Tips of All Time Trade Slow Cardio for Interval Training The road to a leaner body isnt a long, slow march. Its bursts of high-intensity effort paired with slower, recovery efforts. Fifteen to 20 minutes of interval training performed like this can burn as many calories as an hour of traditional, steady-state cardio. And unlike the slow stuff, intervals can keep your body burning long after the workout ends. Brace Your Core Before Every Exercise Your cores much more than a six-pack of muscles hiding beneath your gut -- its a system of muscles that wraps around your entire torso, stabilizing your body, protecting your spine from injury and keeping you upright. Fire these muscles before every exercise to keep your back healthy, steady your balance and maintain a rigid body position. Youll get the added bonus of isometric exercise for your middle, which could reveal the muscles in your core youd like everyone to see.
