How many people own a treadmill and never use them?! Dust them off! Here's an seemingly easy workout that you will feel in the morning! (keep in mind, I'm 5'4" and not a runner, so the speeds I put down are what I do. If you are taller, shorter, or love to run, you may need to adjust for everything but the side shuffle).
5 min warmup: Speed 3.5 Incline 0
2 min Speed 4 Incline 5
2 min Speed 4 Incline 10
2 min Speed 4 Incline 15 (or max incline)
2 min Speed 4 Incline 10
2 min Speed 4 Incline 5
1 min Speed 4 Incline 0
2 min SIDE SHUFFLE: Speed 2.5-3 Incline 0 (Switch sides at 1 min)
30 sec walk it out (Keep shuffle speed and incline)
2 min SIDE SHUFFLE: Speed 2.5-3 Incline 5 (Switch sides at 1 min)
30 sec walk it out (Keep shuffle speed and incline)
2 min SIDE SHUFFLE: Speed 2.5-3 Incline 10 (Switch sides at 1 min)
30 sec walk it out (Keep shuffle speed and incline)
2 min SIDE SHUFFLE: Speed 2.5-3 Incline 5 (Switch sides at 1 min)
30 sec walk it out (Keep shuffle speed and incline)
2 min SIDE SHUFFLE: Speed 2.5-3 Incline 0 (Switch sides at 1 min)
Total Time: 30 minutes
It's not an overly speedy routine, but you will feel it in your legs and inner thighs with those climbs and side shuffles! End with some stretches and ENJOY!
If I had a treadmill I would totally try this.. But I will be following your blog to get all the suggestions. My goal is to do a 5K soon! :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! I am signed up for one in April and there is a Color Run in Lubbuck in March that I think I'm going to do as well!
