No one came out of the womb being a superstar athlete. Meaning we were all beginners at one point and that is OK! Here is a simple way to tailor your interval training workout to your fitness level from Rachel Buschert Vaziralli, a Schwinn Master Trainer, and New York City-based group fitness instructor and trainer.
*If you feel like you can go harder than this, then do it! You will only be getting better!*
Beginners - a 1:3 ratio
This means you will have to do an exercise for 20 seconds, then recover for 60 seconds or exercise for 30 seconds, then recover for 90.
Intermediates - a 1:2 ratio
This means you will do an exercise for 20 seconds and recover for 40 seconds, or 30 seconds, then recover for 60.
Highly Trained Exercisers/ Athletes - a 1:1 ratio or even 2:1 ratio
This means you guys have a good amount of experience exercising and can handle a lot. So, you will be doing an exercise for 30 seconds and recovering for 30. If you can do this, then we recommend going for 30 seconds then recovering for 15.
