Austin Kickboxing

Here’s how we bring it at Premier Martial Arts
First, we warm you up and show you some Muay Thai moves (or add to your evolving Kickboxing Championship dreams!). Then we put on one of the six stations. At the end of a sixty second round with a pace of 7 out of 10, your heart rate will be pounding, your wind will be deep, and your mind will be focused. After your 60 second rest, the next round ensues and continues alternating until all the intervals you choose are finished.
How to get there: To perform an interval workout, start by warming up for 5 minutes using the cardio method of your choice. After your warm-up, choose a pace that's an effort of 7 out of 10. Work at this pace for 1 minute, then slow to a pace that's a 3 out of 10. After one minute, switch back to the fast pace, and continue alternating until all intervals are finished.
If these intervals are too hard, start with a longer rest period—say 90 seconds—and work your way up to one minute on, one minute off. Then increase your 7-of-10 pace until you reach Ballantyne's thresholds.
For women: 6 intervals of 1 minute each at 9 mph
For men: 6 intervals of 1 minute each at 11 mph

"Research shows that 20 minutes of interval training is more effective for fat loss than 40 minutes of slow cardio," says Craig Ballantyne, owner of TurbulenceTraining.com. "Use interval training combined with 20 minutes of total-body resistance training to completely transform your body" in less time than you're currently spending on just your cardio.

Do Intervals. Mixing in fast-paced intervals raises your metabolic rate higher than doing a steady cardio workout, and will continue to do so up to an hour after you’re done, says Kristin McGee, a trainer and Pilates instructor whose client list includes Tina Fey and Bethenny Frankel. An Australian study also found that women who did intervals while they were biking lost three times as much fat as those who worked out at a steady pace.
