TABATA
High-intensity interval training (HIIT)
Interval training is not new, but it has gained popularity in recent years. Intervals were originally designed for running. An example of Tabata training for runners is 20-second sprints and 10 seconds of rest. This will improve cardiovascular fitness. The Tabata protocol can be used for core strength as well as weight training.
Whatever exercise you use, Tabata training will raise your metabolism and heart rate immediately. Since you are performing these exercises at a very high intensity, your body will have to work much harder to keep it up. This will cause your heart to pump fast and your metabolism to jump, which you want if you are planning on losing fat. Your metabolism will stay at that high rate not only during the workout, but after the workout as well. This means that your body will be burning fat for hours after.
JOGG for all (Interval Jogging)
Interval training is one of the most effective exercises out there for weight loss because it increases cardiovascular endurance, aerobic and anaerobic capacity. High-intensity interval training requires your body to consume more oxygen than other exercises, creating an afterburn effect 1.5 to 24 hours postworkout, where your body’s metabolism skyrockets hours after exercise.
Sample Interval Jogging Plan for Weight Loss
Start with a five-minute warm-up by jogging at a comfortable speed to bring up your heart rate and prepare your muscles. Then begin the interval jogging workout by alternating speed and rest intervals three or four times. Speed up to a quick jog for one minute, then slow down for a two-minute walking rest period. Repeat the process for 20 minutes for a full-length workout //cited from: http://www.livestrong.com
