Interval Cardio Training Guidelines

Save Tip

Follow these guidelines and you can have an effective yet safe training program.

Precautions for Safe Interval Training

Warm Up before starting intervals

Assess current conditioning and set training goals that are within your ability

Start slowly. (for example: walk 2 minutes/ run 2 minutes) In general, longer intervals provide better results

Keep a steady, but challenging pace throughout the interval

Build the number of repetitions over time

Bring your heart rate down to 100-110 bpm during the rest interval

To improve, increase intensity or duration, but not both at the same time

Make any changes slowly over a period of time

Train on a smooth, flat surface to ensure even effort

You can also use circuit training as a form of interval training
