Interval Cardio Training

Posted by Steven M. Cohen Aug 24, 2008

I write this as I watch the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing. As someone who is all about health and fitness, I’m fascinated by the various shapes and sizes of the athletes. The marathon winner from Nigeria is phenomenally fit, as is the gold medalist in men’s gymnastics. When I look at them both, though, I’d much rather look like the gymnast than the marathoner. That’s how I know that I’m on the right with my fitness program. With a combination of weight training, body-weight exercises and interval cardio training, I’ll continue to improve my conditioning and appearance. On the other hand, those that prefer endless endurance training will end up looking like a marathoner…no thanks.
