Short on time? Interval training can deliver powerful fitness benefits quickly. By alternating bursts of effort with rest, you maximise results in minimal time.

**Why it works:**
- Boosts cardiovascular fitness and endurance
- Burns more calories in less time
- Raises metabolism even after your workout ends
- Can be done with any activity — walking, cycling, swimming, or bodyweight

Start with short intervals (e.g. 30 seconds effort, 1 minute rest) and adjust to your fitness level. Always warm up and cool down.
