I started my day with the same old Snap, Crackle and Pop routine I do most mornings. Then later that day I decided to melt some fat in mother nature's gym, a hill.
Bike Ride for 10 minutes (a real bike, not a stationary bike)
Hill Sprints x 10 (this is a 50 meter long hill at a 30 degree incline so it just kicks my fat ass)
Bike Ride x 10 minutes really hard
And that is all you need so long as the hill sprints are enough to put your heart in your throat and you feel the need to vomit. Okay, you don't actually have to puke but when doing high intensity intervals you need push yourself into a state of nausea. That is the only way to know you have worked hard enough to elevate your metabolism for a prolonged period.
