Workout of the Day: Treadmill HIIT
Hey San Antonio,
Looking for an incredible weapon to add to your fat loss arsenal? Well, I’ve mentioned High Intensity Interval Training in other articles, and today, the workout of the day is HIIT on a treadmill.
Why HIIT?
-Less time on cardio
-Muscle preservation
-Body burns more fat for longer when you’re finished
-It is intense!
I do believe that HIIT is an amazing weapon for ANY body transformation!
To start, I warm up for 3-5 minutes at a light to moderate speed.
I then alternate 45 seconds of very high intensity (whether it is increasing to speed to 10-12mph or the incline to 15% or maybe a combination, such as 8mph on a 10% grade – it doesn’t matter, just make it hard). I then go back to my lower intensity, warmup speed for 45 seconds. I alternate this for about a total of 10-15 minutes. At first, you may only be able to do 3-4 minutes, and that’s fine, just work on building it up each and every week. 2-3 sessions per week will make a huge difference in not only fat burning, but in recovery ability between sets while weight training, as the style of the exercise is totally transferable to other parts of your training regimen.
Give it a try and let me hear about it!
