Add some intervals.

Interval training is an effective way to add some intensity and extra calorie-burning potential to any exercise routine. The great thing is there really isn’t a “wrong” way to do it. Consider walking at your normal pace for 3 minutes and then jogging or all-out sprinting for 30 seconds. Go back to your normal pace to recover for 3 minutes and then sprint again for 30 seconds. Or come up with an interval that works for you. Whatever it is, adding bursts of high (or even moderate) intensity will deliver greater health benefits and add a new dimension to your routine.
