Music Intervals

I think I've expressed before that I get bored pretty easily in my workouts.  I am constantly mixing it up.  One of the ways I do this is by music intervals.  Of course you must have music.  I prefer Pandora with my headphones so I can really get in "the zone".  I have done this in a couple of different ways before:

1)   Speed up and slow down according to the tempo of the song.  I did this yesterday to Katy Perry's "Roar" (love this song!) as I was riding the spin bike.  I put it on repeat, but it was a great cardio session!

2)  Alternate your speeds according to the song.  Do a regular speed for one song, and then go faster on the next.  I have done this before on the Stairmill, and wow it was hard!  It always seemed like my regular pace happened on the quick songs!

3)  Be creative and use a combination of both!

Usually when I do interval workouts (whether it's music, tabatas or something else), time really flies by...another added benefit!

Have a wonderful day and keep training hard.  Here are some photos that I have also posted on Instagram (kelliraefit).

Both pictures were taken after my afternoon cardio sessions this past week.  I've really been trying to hit it hard with intense consistency.  I have big goals!
