Since it is the typical New Years Resolution time I thought I should discuss how to properly do the cardio aspect of your routine. And since I saw many people are the gym yesterday only doing long drawn out sessions of cardio I think this is needed.
So which is better? Shorter intense cardio or long drawn out at a moderate pace?
They both have their advantages, however if you are trying to lose weight your best bet would be to do shorter more intense cardio training (interval training) after you have built up a base cardio ability by doing drawn out moderate paced training.
For example, the easiest way I can describe interval training to you via this blog is:
Go to a street that has telephone poles along it, and after a proper warm up, run as hard as you can between two poles and then do an "active recovery" jog between 2-3 and then repeat for 10-20 minutes.
