Not so Boring Treadmill Workout

The weather was rainy yesterday here in Cincinnati so, I took my workout indoors. We all know the treadmill can get boring and mixing it up can help pass the time. The workout below is super easy and changes things up, challenging you while the time flies by. I felt great at the end and ended up doing ~3 to 3.5 miles.

 

 

 

 

Remember, workouts like this can also be done on another piece of cardio equipment such as an elliptical or bike.

 

 

? How do you pass the time when doing cardio? ?

Treadmill Intervals

When I workout, I need to sweat. If I don't, I often leave the gym feeling like I didn't get a good workout in. I've always been a fan of the treadmill, but it can be boring, so changing it up every once and awhile is a must. I've had this interval workout stored away and forgot how much I enjoy doing it. It's from an issue of Shape Magazine. I always find great workouts in magazines and this one does not disappoint.

 

Instead of putting the RPE (rate of perceived exertion), I decided to share the speed that I would do this workout. I gave a range for the speed because some days I feel faster on the treadmill then other days. Feel free to tweak it based on your fitness levels.

 

 

If you wanted a longer workout, you could always increase the time that you are alternating intensities.

 

This workout could also be used on other cardio machines such as an ellipticle or bike
