GETTING STARTED

Before beginning any of the workouts below, be sure and warm up on the treadmill for 5 minutes with a slow jog or quick paced walk to gradually get your heart rate up and get some blood flowing to those gorgeous muscles.

HILL WALK

Set the treadmill at a walking pace, around 3.0-3.5 and the incline at 6%. At three minutes, raise the incline by 1% to 7%. Walk for another three minutes, maintaining a pace that is quick, but does not force you to hang on to the rails as you move. Continue increasing the incline by 1% every 3 minutes for a total of 15 minutes. At the end of the 15 minutes, you will stay at the 10% incline for an additional 3 minutes then begin dropping the incline down by 1% every 3 minutes until you are back to 6% at 30 minutes. Repeat as many times as desired.

JOG + HILL WALK

Set the treadmill at a jogging pace, around 6.0-6.5 and jog for 5 minutes. At the end of the five minutes, reduce the speed to a fast walking pace, around 3.0 -3.5 and raise the incline to 6%. Walk for another two minutes, maintaining a pace that is quick, but does not force you to hang on to the rails as you move. Continue increasing the incline by 1% every 2 minutes for a total of 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes, drop the incline down to 1% and increase your pace back up to the jogging pace. Jog for 5 minutes and repeat the incline hill walk for 10 minutes. Repeat as many times as desired.

SPRINT + HILL JOG

Set the treadmill at a relatively easy jogging pace, around 6.0-6.5 and the incline to 1%. Jog for 2 minutes, then, raise the incline to 2%. Every 2 minutes you are going to raise the incline another % until you reach 10 minutes and are at a 5% incline. At 10 minutes, drop it down to a 1% incline and increase your pace to a sprint around 8.0-8.5. Sprint for 5 minutes then slow back down to your jogging pace and start the interval again. Repeat as many times as desired.
