Anne Hathaway, 25, star of Brokeback Mountain and the Devil Wears Prada is in fantastic shape, yet she only exercises for 30 minutes, three times a day. Her secret? Interval training.
'I do interval running for about half an hour, during this time, I'll walk for a minute and a half, then I run for a minute, then sprint for a minute.'
By fatiguing the muscles by constantly challenging them, you not only tone up more quickly but because your metabolic rate is raised for up to two hours after you've exercised you keep burning calories even after your work out if finished.
but if you're not fit enough to run, then don't worry. Interval training counts as anything where you go from a slow to a faster pace. This could be a slow walk to a jog, or walking on a level surface and then going uphill. Just be honest with yourself - as long as you're challenging yourself it will work!
