I stumbled upon interval training when I was competing in high school track and cross country competitions. It is not a surprise to me that interval training has shifted from the running / athletic realm to the current fitness industry. Interval training is a fun, dynamic and effective fitness method to combine resistance training and cardiovascular training. There are so many benefits to interval training including (but not limited to):
- improves absorption of protein
- improves skeletal muscle health
- improve our bodies ability to utilize (or "burn") carbohydrates and fat (which is critical to losing "visceral fat" over the abdomen)
- increases our metabolism and our ability to burn calories at rest
- reduces lactic acid waste in our blood stream, but still yields the positive health results
- improves cardiovascular functioning with the ability of the heart to pump blood and oxygen to the entire skeletal muscular body
- improves our cognitive ability
- and so much more!
Stroller Moves Classes are designed based off of medical research. Stroller Moves includes 30 seconds-2 minutes of cardiovascular exercise alternated with 4.5 minutes of resistance training. The pace and offered variations are important to a Mother's recovering cardiovascular system (recovering from hormonal changes and the blood volume decrease from pregnancy). Furthermore, Stroller Moves approach to interval training is less impact on a mother's healing pelvic floor, resulting in less incidence of urinary incontinence, pelvic pain and pressure and so much more!
To see proper results from any interval training program you must incorporate it into your schedule at least 3 times per week. So get out there and find a Stroller Moves Class or find a Bella Bellies Instructor at: http://www.bellabellies.com/find-instructor
