Want to fight fat over forty?

     Want to fight fat over forty?  That got your attention.  If you are not forty you will be one day!!!  Research proves that women (of course it is women) over forty need to add interval training in order to most effectively burn fat.  WHAT'S THAT?  I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ELSE?  It's not that hard and a great way to boost your metabolism.
     According to The Mayo Clinic, Interval training is "alternating bursts of intense activity with intervals of lighter activity".  This can be applied with any exercise.  Take walking for example.  Walk normally with periods of fast walking.  If you are in better shape you can walk and add periods of light jogging.  A runner?  Run as usual but add periods of fast sprints.
     Not that difficult and doesn't event require fancy gym equipment!  What can interval training do for you?  You'll burn more calories, improve your aerobic capacity, and have a more challenging workout.  Is your weight at a standstill?  Get busy!  Add interval training and watch your metabolism roar!  Just remember, skip the cookies afterwards!
