The Importance of Interval Training!

A big part of training metabolism is to vary heart rate during cardio, in specific intervals determined by exercise metabolic testing. Patients often wonder why this is important. The reason is that if you exercise at the same intensity, doing the same exercise, each day, you will not have the same effect. In order to "train your metabolism", you need to focus on your specific heart rate intervals, or "Zones", and vary heart rate during cardio. This will improve your ability to burn more calories AND more fat, even at rest.
