We all have heard of interval training at some stage whilst reading over fitness plans and workout regimes. Interval training involves short bouts of high intensity work followed by a longer bout of lower intensity work. Research has resulted in some staggering results from interval training. As seen in the 1996 published journal called “Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise”, where  group of cyclists who performed eights sets of high intensity, 20-second intervals with 10 seconds of rest in between for six weeks not only improved their aerobic endurance more than the moderate intensity group but also improved their anaerobic capacity by 28 percent. These results led the way for more research to be carried out in order to improve endurance and stamina results even further for athletes and other sports people alike.

You do not need to lift incredibly heavy weights in order to build your fitness levels. Lifting weights is mostly anaerobic and not only improves your strength but also your muscular stamina. So if you can incorporate weight training at least two times a week, and on each occasion include all body workouts you will see massive gains in your overall muscular stamina. This in turn will aid you with other types of exercise that you may do elsewhere in the week. It is recommend that you perform 8-15 repetitions of around 8-10 different types of weight lifting exercises for maximum results.
