How to Lose Weight Faster With a Treadmill or Cycle

Losing weight more quickly than you knew possible can be done with the use of a treadmill or cycle bike. The more calories you can burn, the more pounds you will lose. Although natural results may not come with the speedy instant gratification that everyone wants, there are ways to lose weight faster using a treadmill, cycle or other cardio machine at your gym. With the use of interval training, you can blast more calories per workout session, as well as get the most out of your sweat and hard work.

Instructions

• 1

  Perform interval training exercise routines on a treadmill or cycle. Interval training consists of switching between short bursts of intense exercise and slightly longer spurts of rest.

• 2

  Exercise with interval training by keeping the short bursts of intense exercise between 15 and 30 seconds. Use at least 30 seconds to a whole minute to recover and rest.

• 3

  Repeat Step 2 at least 5 times for a quick and effective cardio workout that will burn calories. Interval training will not only help you drop pounds, but your cardiovascular health will improve as well. Also, your metabolism will increase with the more training you do, so you will burn more calories while you are at rest as well.

  Alternate the length of time you do the "sprint" part of the work and the "recovery" part of the exercise. You should push yourself to be out of breath, but don't push yourself if you are getting lightheaded or dizzy.
