Whether you love or hate the treadmill, this week’s exercise will have your heart rate up in no time. It focuses on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) which helps burn fat quickly. If you can’t stand the sight of a treadmill, this same format can be used for any major muscle group. Think biking, jogging outside, or even burpees.

  • Walk for 10 minutes
  • This is your warm-up
• Interval 2
  • Run fast for 4 minutes
  • Walk for 3 minutes
• Interval 3

  • Walk for 3 minutes
• Interval 4

  • Walk for 3 minutes
• Interval 5

Once complete, you’ll have 38 minutes of activity under your belt. Not a bad deal at all!
