Watch interval training class can help build muscle and strength | members only access

Interval training is based on alternating short bursts of more intense activity with longer periods of low-impact exercise, all of which can be done easily at home with a mix of body weight

and simple equipment, and can help you gain strength, flexibility and stamina. In Class 3 of this interval training series, Building Muscle and Strength, you’ll learn a dynamic warm-up,

Arnold presses, bent-over rows, tricep kickbacks and front raises. RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT: dumbbells, kettlebells or objects with some weight that can be held easily, such as water bottles.
