Training On The Road

– Interval Training On The Road

Simple tips on how to stick to your interval training program while on the road

Interval training is a training form that you can easily keep up even if you are travelling a lot.

Demanding very little organisation and equipment to fulfill the purpose, you can do your interval trainings sessions almost anywhere.

Here are some examples of activities that can be used during the high intensity intervals.  You will need a way to time the intervals but other than that the only requirements are mentioned beside the activity:

Higher intensity activity  Requirements
 Skipping  Rope
 Stairs  Staircase or outdoor stairs
 (Split) box jumps  Step or any place with a difference in height
about 25 cm / 10 inches
 Burpess  2 sq. meters/ 18 sq. feet of floor space,
lawn or the like
 High knees  2 sq. meters/ 18 sq. feet of floor space,
lawn or the like
 Jumping Jacks  2 sq. meters/ 18 sq. feet of floor space,
lawn or the like
 Side-to-side jumping  2 sq. meters/ 18 sq. feet of floor space,
lawn or the like

Any of these activities will work well for the high intensity parts of your interval training session. For the recovery part / lower intensity interval you can either walk or jog or walk or jog in place, step up and down at a slow pace.  If you choose to do the stairs, the walking back down will be part of the recovery.
