Hey dear ones

How are you all doing? Don't you think that winters started a little earlier than usual this year? I really feel this way, especially after having a bad bout of viral fever. In fact, this weather is something I enjoy doing workouts and walks in, but this time something really happens. I had planned to resume training almost a month ago, but with so much travel and illness in the family I was still unable to do anything. Actually too exhausted for that. I also recently realized that however careful you may be, you only need to monitor your mental health at all times. I've been doing the same thing with interval training for a long time. Let me talk about it Interval training for mental health. So what are we waiting for, Let Us Do It.

I had shared with my readers before Schedule of my intervals and I don't know how many of you actually started doing it, but I have found the need to discuss the benefits, risks, and safety tips of doing intervals.

One of the best things I like about intervals is that there are no hard and fast rules. Do it however you want and you will benefit from it. There was a time when I could barely run two kilometers in more than an hour, and when I started trying intervals of walking by walking slowly, quickly, and faster at short intervals of 2 minutes, my confidence started to build build up.

In addition to increased speed and endurance, I jogged a bit in between. Now this too began with a few jogging steps with a few minutes in between. Basically, as we all know, it comes down to the bursts of quick and brisk walks / runs. I've never been to a gym, but if you go to the gym regularly, you need to add intervals to your fitness routine once a week to burn more calories and build more fitness. You can easily incorporate intervals into your running, jogging, or even walking plans if you work on the fitness routine regularly.

Advantages of intervals

Better calorie burning as it becomes a more strenuous exercise than a normal walk.

Improved aerobic capacity because when we include intervals in our routine, our cardiovascular fitness improves so we can train longer and better.

Helps keep boredom at bay, as incorporating intervals into our daily walking routine in short busts can add variety to our workouts. This is urgently needed to keep motivation high and stay strong.

No special equipment is required, so you can easily change the routine by adding short bursts of faster walking, jogging, or running. All you need is some good upbeat happy music.

When you look at all of these benefits, the mood is the best to benefit from. A good walk with slow and fast twists can help lift any grumpy mood. Personally, I feel that intervals help me get out of my various mood swings.

All you have to do is increase the intensity for 30 seconds after the warm up and then resume normal pace. The sustained bursts of intense activity of two to three minutes can change the game for you as it would increase the oxygen in the body with an adrenaline rush, which can activate the happiness hormones.

This is how safe interval training succeeds …

There are a few things to keep in mind before starting with intervals.

Always start with a warm up walk before starting the intervals or you will damage your muscles.

Don't overdo it. It's good to push, but not too much.

Start slowly, maintaining a steady but challenging pace. Doing everything today and feeling hurt by doing nothing for the next few weeks is stupidity and counterproductive to mental health. You can't end up sad in your search for happiness.

Slowly build up the repetitions over time. Start with one or two and build up over the next few weeks.

During the rest interval, lower your heart rate to 100-110 beats per minute.

To improve, do not try everything at once and then become stressful.

Exercise on a smooth, level surface to ensure an even effort and wear suitable footwear.

Life comes with ups and downs, and a wise person is someone who tries to cope with any situation. Remember, it is always good to be careful when exercising. It's your life that you only get once Be sure, love life – live life 🙂
