Interval training is where you do short burst of intense exercise and then move onto a longer rest period of time. You can sprint for 20 seconds, and then rest for 40. For example, the faster you burn calories, is the faster you burn fat. The beauty of interval training is that you can do it with any type of exercise. Sprinting, biking, skating, skipping ect. The other beautiful thing about this training, is that it builds up a lot of lactic acid that reduces fatigue.
Ways you can do this
After a workout instead of running on a treadmill for 40 minutes at a consistent pace, just do some interval training. Turn the speed up to 10, and the incline up to 12 on you're treadmill. Sprint for 20 seconds, and rest for 40. Repeat this for 10-20 minutes strait.

Overview
It's a great method of exercise, the one downfall is that with such high intensity exercise it makes the likeliness towards an injury more likely to happen.
