My Not-So Boring Treadmill Workout

Running on the treadmill can sometimes feel like a chore. On the days I wouldn't go spinning or couldn't run outside, I used to have to force myself to get on it and I'd constantly be looking down at the clock to see how much time I had left. I'd be one of those people who would cover the whole front of the treadmill with a towel just because I didn't want to know how much longer I had left.

When I learned about how great interval training is for your body, I started looking into different treadmill workouts that included intervals. There are so many out there that are designed for a lot of different fitness levels.

This is the treadmill interval workout that I use. Not only is this workout using an incline, but it changes pace every minute, so by the time I get sick of the speed I'm running at, it's time to switch. This workout only takes 30 minutes to complete, and every minute is different (besides the first 5 minutes of the warm-up and the last 5 minutes of the cool-down). You can definitely adjust the time, speed and incline of this workout to your liking as well.

Print this off and take it to the gym with you for a not-so boring treadmill workout. Good luck!
