Interval training could help you lose more weight than a continuous moderate-intensity workout, according to a new review and meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Interval training may make your body more efficient at burning fat, the researchers believe.

Will interval running burn belly fat?

Performing intervals during your regular workout may help you lose more belly fat than steady-state cardio, according to Greek researchers. In the study, participants performed hour-long workouts four times a week.

How much weight can you lose with interval running?

It will take you a few sessions before you can accurately determine an appropriate level of intensity, but once you figure out how your body works you should continue to work out at that pace. Realistically, you can expect to lose approximately two to five pounds a week with a consistent interval training routine.
