Interval training is a fantastic way to challenge yourself and at the same time improve your stamina. Intervals can be done by almost everyone and always start from your own level and experience. This type of training means that you divide your session into smaller sections and switch between high intensity and low intensity or rest. In that way you will in turn be able to stay the high intensity training for longer periods after a while and during the session be able to maintain better quality than if you did not rest in-between. It means your sessions will be much more effective. In general, you can say that the higher the effort the greater the effect.

Your interval sessions can be varied to infinity. You can choose to switch between different workouts by changing the high and low intensity parts each time. Another variant is to measure the intervals in distance instead of time, and of course you can do interval training no matter what sport you are practicing. You can f.ex. run outside on a flat surface, in a hill, a staircase, on a treadmill, using a stationary bike or a normal bike, rowing machine or a cross trainer. The important thing is that you exert yourself more than during a “normal” session.
