Interval Treadmill Workout

I have two treadmills.  One I bought and one that was given to me for free.   The one I bought broke.  Go figure.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a treadmill workout so here ya go.  I like intervals, they make the time go by faster.

20 Minute Interval Treadmill Workout

Warm up
4 Minutes and 30 Seconds : Walk at highest incline.  Don’t hang on to the rails. Use your arms.

Workout
1 minute:  Get off treadmill and jump squat or squat depending on your level of fitness.  (Yes.  The entire minute.)
1 Minute: Walk  or jog –  no incline
30 Seconds: Sprint – YOUR fastest speed.
1 Minute: Walk  or jog – no incline
1 Minute : Get off treadmill and do jump lunges or lunges.
1 Minute: Walk or jog – no incline

Repeat the above sequence (squats – walking) 3 times.  You’re done!!!

If you don’t have a treadmill you can do this at a track or large park.  You can even run around in circles in your backyard.

Almost every workout can be customized to your fitness level.  Can’t sprint?? Then jog.  After a while you WILL be able to sprint.  Can’t do a minute of squats?  Then squat for 10 seconds, rest 20, and repeat.  Work your way up.  You CAN do it.  It’s only 20 minutes and you are worth it.
