Interval training burns more fat

treadmill, where I cycle like a mad woman for ten minutes and than try to catch my breath for another ten taking it slowly.Although I was not aware of this, it seems that interval training is just the thing to lose weight faster!
As the Six Wise article states:
"One study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology followed a group of people who alternated 10 sets of four-minute bursts of bike riding at 90 percent effort with two-minute intervals of rest. After training every other day for two weeks, they:
· Increased their cardiovascular fitness by 13 percent
· Burned 36 percent more fat in an hour of continuous cycling than they did before the interval training
· Increased the enzyme activity in their muscles"
So, if you want to maximize your training efforts, you should for example run for three minutes than walk another three and all over again. Sounds good to me.
