Blast fat and calories! Your cardio plans
To burn off all the fat covering those gorgeous muscles you're sculpting, do 4–5 of these 35-minute interval workouts per week. Why intervals? Because they're the fastest way to burn maximum calories in minimum time.

The intensity levels below are based on a scale of 1–10, where 1 is kicking back on the couch and 10 is pushing as hard as you can. After each workout, cool down at a slow pace for 5 minutes.

The quake, which initially registered at magnitude 6.3, was centered 22 miles north-northwest of Bologna in northern Italy at a relatively shallow depth of 6.3 miles, the USGS said.

In January, a 5.3-magnitude quake in northern Italy was felt in Genoa, Bologna, Turin and Italy's financial capital, Milan. (Writing by Doina Chiacu)
