EXAMPLE:
Use an Elliptical trainer for five minutes at 65% to 75% percent of your maximum heart rate for 5 minutes and then working hard for 10 to 15 seconds at 80% to 85% of your HRM. Repeat this cycle three or four times.If you don’t have a heart rate monitor, another easy and fast calculation is to rate your work rate from the scale of 1 to 10 (1 being easiest and 10 the hardest). Work for 5 minutes on what you would call a level 6 and then work hard for 10 to 15 seconds at what you would call a level 9 of intensity.
