Yes, that's interval training!. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is one of the few forms of cardio that completely preserves muscle mass while reducing body fat 9 times more effectively than any other form of cardio!.
The reason it is so effective is because maximum fat loss takes place post-workout when the metabolic rate speeds up!. This is achieved through high intensity exercises, and HIIT's utilization of this principle makes it very effective!.
HIIT only needs to be done for 15 minutes!. I would recommend you do it 3 times a week, non-consecutively, to allow your central and peripheral nervous systems to recover, due to the high intensity of the workout!. Here is a better routine for HIIT if you are a beginner:
Minutes 1-5
Jog at about 50% effort
Minute 5
Sprint 30 seconds at maximum effort Jog/Walk 30 seconds
Minute 6
Sprint 30 seconds at maximum effort
Jog/Walk 30 seconds
Minute 7
Sprint 30 seconds at maximum effort
Jog/Walk 30 seconds
Minute 8
Sprint 30 seconds at maximum effort
Jog/Walk 30 seconds
Minutes 9-12
Jog at about 50% effortWww@Answer-Health@Com

what your thinking of is a type of training but not interval training!.
interval training is,
for example if you were doing running!.
u would set 3(or more) different lengs to run!.!.!. LONG SHORT and MEDIUM
then basicly run at a run-fast run on 1 of ur lengths, then have a 1 minute break then run the next 1 and keepgoing and going!.
You need to try and get ur breathing back to normal as much as possible!.
about 20 mins of this a good workout!.
hope this helps
