There was a run posted back a while ago. I remember reading that the people who did it noticed that it melted the fat around their middle. It was something along the lines of running as fast as you can for 10sec and returning to normal for 10sec? But I am not sure and I don't know how long the run is suppose to take .I know its not the BFL one.Its a differnt one.
I am really interested in trying this, so if anyone as any info it would be greatly apprecited:)
Thanks,
Lori:)
 
Lori,
I remember that because I tried it once. It was really rough.

I saved the post of Francine's. Here it is...

"Cardio Guerilla~fatblaster~"
Hello fitness buffs! I was writing a reply to my treadmill post and I
incorporated a new workout that is short but intense! I copy and
pasted it below. If your looking for that extra umph to shed the
pounds this is for you~or just to have variety~use your imagination~


If you are unfamiliar with cardio guerilla it is a 12min intense cardio
burst that helps attack even more stubborn abdominal fat!I discovered
this exact method from Muscle media back in Oct! Here goes the
workout for on the treadmill--it can also be used for~stationary
bike~swimming~sprinting~jump rope~etc~Minutes 1-4 warm up
@50%of perceived maximum effort MINUTE 5 sprint for 20 secs~rest
for 10 secs~sprint for 20 secs~rest for 10 secs MINUTE 6(same)
sprint 20-rest 10 sprint 20 rest 10 MINUTE 7(same )MINUTE 8 (same)
MINUTES 9-12 Cool down @50% of perceived maximum effort! So
wrapping it up you warm up for 4 mins -sprint for 20 secs and then
rest for 10 secs and repeat that for 4 mins and then cool down for 4
mins! I sweat like crazy, give it a try and let me know how you like
it--we should pass this on!Your friend in fitness Francine


Is this what you were looking for?

thanks again,

Simple Intervals

This workout is simply another interval workout. Intervals are supposed to be very good at burning fat. The whole point is to get the HR up for awhile, then cool down to a lower HR, then back up again, etc. etc.

Hi Lori,

I am not familiar with that particular 10 sec/on/off run, but with my track team I coach - we do a lot of interval running. The ratio usually should be 1:3...So, 1 min of sprinting, followed by 3 min of jogging/recovery. NO WALKING unless ready to fall over!??! Another great running workout is to begin at a pretty comfortable level and for every 5 minutes speed up about .2 miles/hr. You can do this for as long or as short as you want. (I also speed up every quarter mile, too if you like that way more) Usually for an hour run, you can get going very fast. It is great for race training. Also, you will notice a difference in your O2 consumption and how fast you recover when you are ready to cool down.

Hope this makes some sense. have a great one!!

Hi Jenni, Runners World had an interval workout if you weren't using a track like the first one you described. You warmed up for about a mile then sprinted for 100 sec and jogged for 3 min...over and over. I have done it a few times for 5 to 6 miles. It really kicks butt...:)...Very good for increasing your speed....:)...Carole
