For the intervals, work on a track, treadmill, stationary bike, elliptical trainer, or a heavy gym bag, and alternate 20 seconds of activity at full effort with 10-second rest periods. Each sprint-rest combo counts as one interval. After the intense section, do a five-minute cool-down in the same way you warmed up. Try to do four intervals at first, then gradually work your way up to six. Repeat the workout three to four days a week."



So this doesn't apply to just running. It can be used for training on a heavybag as well?
I only use it for the sprints so all I can speak for. And I know that inside of 2-3 weeks I noticed a difference, and sizeable one as far as my ability to spar a lot of rounds without getting winded. Plus I don't like roadwork...it really does feel like work to me...so the idea of getting these over so quickly with more benefit and no aches is a no brainer for me.
I'm going to try slugging away on a heavybag as well just to see if it works. Of course I'll still have to do regular workouts.
