Treadmill Interval Workout
Focus on alternating between high intensity intervals and recovery periods to increase endurance and burn calories.
* Beginners: Modify according to your fitness level. If you need more recovery time, take it. If the intensity intervals are too long, go as long as you can and recover. Add a few minutes to your workouts each week to progress.
* The speeds/inclines given are only examples. Increase/decrease as needed.
* Use the Perceived Exertion Scale or Target Heart Rate Calculator to monitor your exercise intensity.
* Any activity (stairmaster, step mill, elliptical trainer, bike, swimming, etc.) can be substituted.
* If you can't talk or feel dizzy, stop!
* Always check with your doctor before starting an exercise program
