Imax vs. non interval tapes....

[veganchick]

Do you think you burn more bodyfat doing an interval tape such as Imax as opposed to a straight steady stat aerobics tape such as Rythmic step? I do I max and Circuit Max each once per week followed by another cardio and then 3 strength training workouts....PH, MIS and usually Bodymax or a Firm. Just curious for any opinions....

Hi! Interval training definitely increases cardiovascular capacity and endurance, therefore the body metabolism increases which results in more fat burning process. Studies even show that immune system is boosted up by interval training. There was an article that might be of interest, I put the site here:

You know, for me, there is not much of a difference between IMAX and another Cathe cardio. I am embarrassed to say and probably the only one, but my HR can get as high in Cardio Kicks as it does in IMAX. That is part of the reason I think I have all these impact related aches. I am starting to think that every Cathe cardio is slightly an interval for me. And it has been like that since the beginning. So, I guess I am special in that I am burning fat then after EVERY Cathe workout!!LOL!!
