Interval training involves spurts of high intensity exercise, followed by low intensity recovery periods. The percentage of fat burned during exercise falls (compared to other sources of fuel), but the total amount of fat burned increases. Fat is also burned after the interval training stops, as the body recovers from the intense effort. That is the key to interval training. Examples of Exercise Bike Interval Workouts. A recent study by the University of NSW has proven that interval training is more effective than low intensity cardio exercise. This is the workout they used in their study (t
