Gymchat 179 – Interval Training
Written By : Scott Bird

A Quick Invitation : in this week’s gymchat we’ll be talking about a fantastic approach to working out, Interval Training. What it is, how it works and the many ways to help it become part of your own routines.
See you there.


There are many, many ways to get your sweat on. Not to mention recycling the air in the room.


One of the most popular – particularly when it comes to conditioning work – is some form of Interval Training. Running, punching, skipping and so on.
Of course, there’s a lot more to it than simply adjusting the length of your rest breaks. This week we’re exploring interval work of all kinds; what it is and how to make it work for you.
Helping us explore this fascinating topic is none other than the Cube Dweller Fitness Guy himself, Troy Pesola. Fantastic.
