Hey everyone! I decided to post a healthy recipe today along with a workout tip that i have found works. We always talk about mixing up your workouts and using muscle confusion to get more effective workouts. this ties right in with that. This is especially for you treadmill runners. The treadmill can be so boring right? So here is a great way to spice it up and help it to go by quicker. I will use today for an example.
-Start out running at a nice easy pace and with each minute move the speed up .5 until you hit your max for 1 minute.
-Bring it back down to that relaxed pace and increase your incline to the same level your pace is at. Such as 6 incline with a 6 speed. Be sure it is doable for 1 mile or the length of time of your choosing. I do it for 1 mile.
-Move your incline back down to 0 and then gradually move your speed up every minute until you hit your max again.
-Move your speed all the way down to your fastest walking speed or a comfortable fast walking pace and move your incline up as high as is comfortable, (around 10) do this for 10 minutes and fill the burn.
-Bring your incline back to 0 and your pace back to a comfortable run and finish it out to your choosing.
You can alter this however you would like but changing it up is so nice and a great workout. I even threw a run in on the 10 incline for a couple of minutes and it worked great! The StairMaster is always in use so i try to mix it up and challenge myself on the treadmill. I know a lot of you have treadmills at home so give it a try if you haven't already. Keep Up The Great Work!
