Interval Training for Optimal Fat Loss and Conditioning Enhancement

The Cincinnati personal training professionals at FORCE utilize interval training with all clients. Interval training can best be described as alternating bouts of high intensity work with bouts of lower intensity recovery work. Bouts of high intensity work typically last 20-60 seconds, and the recovery period is generally 1-3 times the duration of the high intensity work bout. This method of conditioning is far superior to the traditional "heart rate zone" cardiovascular training protocols (popular at most gyms) for both fat loss and cardiovascular/metabolic conditioning enhancement. 

FORCE trainers use treadmills, stationary bikes, rowing machines, elliptical trainers, medicine balls, resistance bands, weighted sleds, large tractor tires, sledgehammers, giant ropes, cables, and one's own body weight (sometimes a combination of all of these) with clients during interval training workouts. The various modalities and training tools keep things fresh for the client and keeps their body off guard and progressing.
