Kopecky, M.D.   Intervals are a hugely beneficial addition to any exercise program. As with any exercise topic, finding good information can be difficult and overwhelming. We will discuss how to modify intervals to fit patients of all ages, fitness levels, and limitations   Topics Discussed: How do I do intervals if I am unable to run? Should I base my intensity on heart rates?
