Well it depends on the type of interval training that you are doing. If its running intervals, you can do them as often as you like. What you do have to watch for is this….Interval training is a GREAT way to burn lots of calories, but they are designed to sustain and build muscle. So if you are doing hardcore interval workouts you could be gaining some muscle weight little by little.
But running intervals should be okay, everyone can have nice muscular toned legs.
So you can do your interval training 3-4 times a week. On your off days take it easy, as your body’s healing time is just as important as your work out…good luck
