Harvard fitness experts present a 56-page report for anyone who wants to supercharge their health with short, effective workouts.
Based on current research and evidence this report gives you ways to help you perform interval training safely and effectively—at any age!
- Targets key muscles you need to for an active lifestyle. Interval training can help maintain fast-twitch muscle fibers needed for quick bursts of activity, such as darting across the street before the light changes. In this report, you’ll get exercises to target these muscles to maintain your lifestyle and, for older folks, independence.
- Builds strength (even while doing cardio): Interval training can increase muscle mass in both younger and older adults. And if you gravitate more toward aerobic exercise than toward strength training, interval training may offer you a way to improve strength while doing the type of exercise you enjoy the most!
- Maintains muscle power: As you age, power declines at twice the rate strength does—as much as 3.5% a year for power compared with 1.5% for strength. Interval training—even cardio intervals—can accomplish the same thing, because the short bursts of high-intensity activity target the fast-twitch fibers.
- Plus, you get many workouts you can try to see what works for you!
P.S. Included in your Interval Training Workouts are 2 special features:
#1: Six-week fitness foundation plan: If you are not already doing 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week, as recommended in the Physical Activity Guidelines, then you should build up to that level first. So, you’ll get an introductory six-week plan will help you meet that goal on page 18 of this guide. Feel free to repeat any of the weeks as needed, extending the program.#2: Super-short high-intensity workouts to counteract a sedentary lifestyle: Bursts of exercise—or “exercise snacks” as some physiologists call them—prevent your body from lapsing into sedentary mode.
