If you're looking for a killer, fat burning workout then you should give this one a try!
It only takes 30 min. If you're a beginner then I would start by doing only about 5-10 minutes of this. You will definitely see results! If you're an intermediate like myself, then 30 minutes is plenty to get you sweating and out of breath!
1- Start on the treadmill at a low walking speed. Walk at this speed for about 5 minutes to warm up. You should ALWAYS warm up before EVERY workout!
2- Increase the speed on your treadmill until you're at a good jog. Do this for 2 min.
3- Increase the speed on your treadmill until you're at a good sprint. Do this for 2 min. (make sure you're truly pushing yourself! You should be out of breath at the end of the 2 min.)
4- Decrease the speed on your treadmill until you're back at your jogging pace. Jog at this speed for 2 min.
5- Repeat steps 2-4 until you've reached 30 min. (you're 30 minutes should begin at step 2.)
6- Walk for 5 minutes as your cool down.
7- Stretch and drink some water. :)
Good luck! Tell me what you think after you've tried this! :)
Make it a great day! :)
Hey Tiffany, I found your blog through Facebook, we went to Timpview together. : ) Anyway, I love to run and have done a marathon and several half marathons but I don't really feel like running helps me manage my weight very well. In fact, a lot of times when I'm training for a race I gain weight! Anyway, I've been reading your blog and I feel like you have so many awesome healthy tips about eating right and exercises to maintain healthy weight and fitness. I had a baby 9 months ago and am working on toning up my postpartum belly and shedding the annoying last 5 pounds. I tried this workout today and it was awesome! I alternated between jogging at a 9:13 pace and running at a 7:30 pace. It kicked my butt and I was sweating buckets. Hopefully if I keep it up I'll finally see some results on the scale. How often a week would you suggest doing this workout? Thanks again for all your great posts! They're awesome!

ReplyDeleteHi:) I'm glad you like and find my blog helpful. Congrats on the baby! I would recommend doing these interval sprints 2-3 times a week at first to try and jumpstart your metabolism and shock your body. Once you've reached your goal, you will probably be fine doing 1-2 of these interval sprints every week. Good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions:) And as always, I love feedback. Thanks! Tiffany
Hi Tiffany..I am following your blog and I love the updates...I specifically loved this workout. I tried it this week and it was awesome. I was sore again for the first time in a while. Thanks! I run everyday...but I think I'm going to add this interval training in 2 times a week.
