- Warm-up with five minutes of light jogging.
- Start running for 30 seconds of high intensity sprinting.
- Rest with 30 seconds of slow jogging–you’ve now completed one duty cycle.
- Repeat this cycle three times.
- Cool down with two to three minutes of walking, and don’t forget to stretch
- Warm-Up (5 minutes): Start with a brisk walk or light jog to gradually increase your heart rate and warm up your muscles.
- Interval 1 (3 minutes): Increase the speed to a challenging pace (running or fast walking) where you can maintain for 3 minutes. Focus on maintaining good form and breathing rhythmically.
- Recovery (2 minutes): Reduce the speed to a comfortable pace, allowing your heart rate to come down and catch your breath.
- Interval 2 (3 minutes): Increase the speed again, pushing yourself to a slightly faster pace than before. This interval should be challenging but sustainable for 3 minutes.
- Recovery (2 minutes): Lower the speed to your comfortable pace, focusing on controlled breathing and preparing for the next interval.
- Interval 3 (3 minutes): Increase the speed once more, aiming for your fastest sustainable pace. Push yourself during this interval, knowing you have a recovery period coming up.
- Cool Down (5 minutes): Gradually decrease the speed to a slow walk, allowing your heart rate to return to normal and your muscles to cool down.
