Are you looking for a way to switch up your cross-training? Or do you need motivation to start in the first place? Consider a class at Orangetheory, a 60-minute group interval workout that combines cardio and strength-training with some pretty smart science behind it. Classes are designed to push you into the “Orange Zone,” which translates to 84% or higher of your maximum heart rate, for 12 to 20 minutes of the workout.

This sweet spot allows you to torch calories and increases your metabolism for 24-36 hours after you’re finished. Kat Gunsur, a coach at the La Jolla, CA studio, talked to Women’s Running about what Orangetheory is all about, the secret to the workout’s crazy calorie burn, and what makes the workouts so addictive.

Tell us about the philosophy behind Orangetheory. Kat Gunsur: I think the best way to describe it is that anyone who goes to Orangetheory is going to be stronger, faster, better, more in tune with their body and more knowledgeable about their heart rate and fitness. The thing that Orangetheory pushes is the after burn effect, or the EPOC (Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption) effect. So not only are you going to burn calories during the class, anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories, but your body is going to continue to burn calories after you’re done.
