Enter "interval training" into yahoo and check out the various material. Your guess as to what intervals are was a little off the mark.
In my research, for optimal fat loss and maintenance of muscle high intensity periods of 20 to 40 seconds appear to give optimal results. One caveat, your heart rate must return back to 60% of max for intervals to be effective.
Max heart rate is equal to 220 minus your age.
I walk briskly on the treadmill at about 5.4 k/hour and sprint at about 15.5k/hour. What ever gets your heart from 60% to 85-90% within the 20 to 40 second "interval."
Wouldn´t recommend doing this any longer than 20 minutes at a go (at first) and always a day´s rest between sessions.(trust me) Its very strenuous and as such, quite effective.(for me anyhow)
Anyone else on this subject?

here is another type of interval training (an idea at least) that i use with alot of my clients. its a good means of increasing intensity when someone is a chatterbox or just plain doesnt like to lift too heavy. keep em moving fast. hehehehe.

Thanks everybody!
I've found that after a while (like 200-300), I can't do more than 5-10 before I screw up. I guess this means I'm getting tired. But every day I can probably do about 50 more before I start screwin up so I'm getting used to it
I've started doing them 5 minutes a time, 4 times a day, once I get completely used to it, I'm going to go up to 10 minutes a day 3 times a day, and then after that I'll try to do it longer.
Should I also run every other day to help? I don't like running anymore, lol, but if it'll help significantly, I'll do it

One more thing:
Yeesh I did it for about 40 minutes yesterday (was in the mood) and my calfs are sore as heck!!!
A question in general (and about this): If I'm sore the next day with any workout, do I continue to work out even when sore, or do I wait until I'm healed/not sore anymore before I continue?
