Written by Jennifer Koenig | Aug 5, 2016 11:15:04 AM

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.

 

  • Interval 1
    • Walk for 10 minutes
    • This is your warm-up
  • Interval 2
    • Run fast for 4 minutes
    • Walk for 3 minutes
  • Interval 3
    • Run fast for 4 minutes
    • Walk for 3 minutes
  • Interval 4
    • Run fast for 4 minutes
    • Walk for 3 minutes
  • Interval 5
    • Run fast for 4 minutes
    • Walk for 3 minutes as a cooldown

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

 

Note:Before beginning any new exercise program, consider discussing your exercise plans with your doctor, particularly if you have unique health issues such as diabetes.
