Sample Treadmill Workout

This program is a treadmill workout to lose weight. For this treadmill workout, your going to have to use a treadmill with an incline.

This particular treadmill workout will not only help you lose weight and burn off the fat but it will build your leg strength and prepare you for hard runs outside.

First, warm up by performing the exercise at low intensity, about 30% to 40% of your full out effort for about 5 minutes.

Now, pick a speed that's about 2 minutes per mile slower than your average outdoor pace. Run at that speed for 2 minutes at an incline of 1%. Then raise the incline to 4% for another 2 minutes. Continue to rase the incline of the treadmill by 2% every 2 minutes until you reach a 10% incline.

Then, lower the incline by 1% at a time, in 2 minute intervals until you complete your 20 minutes worth of exercise. If you are a beginner, try walking first. Start slowly by working at 50% of your full effort for 10 minutes, 3 days a week. Increase your intensity by 10% every other week.

Before you know it, you'll be running for the full 20 minutes.

All the best,
