Working in your heart rate zones is important! This has to be done correctly – please watch my video on calculating heart rate intensities. You will need a heart rate monitor to perform this program correctly.

This program can be done in many ways:

On a bike (stationary or not)
On a treadmill
Running and sprinting or walking and jogging
In a swimming pool (short bursts of swimming or kicking as fast as you can)

Up a hill (walk / jog / sprint as fast as you can)
Skipping
Boxing
In any way that lifts your heart rate
