The 5 Best Ways to Do Interval Training
By Craig Ballantyne

If you’re doing the same long, slow, boring cardio workout over and over, don’t expect results. You have to change your program, work out with more intensity, and do shorter, less-frequent workouts - using intervals.

Intense workouts like this will lead to more fat burning and more fat loss. And, in fact, Professor Steve Boucher of the University of New South Wales in Australia believes that interval training allows you to achieve the magic of spot reduction, because intervals specifically work to burn stomach fat.

You can do interval training by using the stairmaster, rower, elliptical, and crosstrainer machines or by swimming (if you’re already a competent swimmer). But here are the top five methods I’ve seen work time and time again for men and women to lose stomach and chest fat:

* Sprinting outdoors (and hills might be the absolute best place to do it)

* Strongman movements (farmer’s walks, tire flips, car pushing)

* Kettlebell swings, dumbbell swings, sandbag swings, or dumbbell squats

* Bodyweight interval circuits

* Treadmill running

* Stationary cycling (upright preferred)
