Those who are in training for marathons and those who prefer a more demanding workout or other stamina events go with interval training. It consists of shorter bouts of activity performed in quick succession and at a higher intensity, because this requires more effort and concentration.
In order to improve the cardio strength, which is the most important aspect of any exercise routine is to be sure that you achieve and maintain your target heart rate. Maximum heart rate is calculated by subtracting your age in years from 220. Many treadmills come with a heart rate monitor built in. Most people agree that a good target heart rate zone is 60 to 80 percent of your maximum heart rate, because this factor is so critical to healthy, productive exercise. How you choose to achieve your target heart rate, be it walking, jogging, continuous or interval training is up to you.
