This week’s workout is all cardio and can be done on the elliptical or treadmill. You can go through it once for a shorter workout, or repeat for about an hour-long sweat session.
Make sure to warm up at an easy pace for 5 minutes, gradually increasing intensity.
Once you feel warm and reading to go…
20 second all out sprint
10 second rest (if on treadmill, just carefully jump your feet on the sides)
30 second sprint
20 second rest
repeat 5x
Then:
Increase resistance or incline by 1% (go for 2 if you really want a challenge by the end) each minute for 10 minutes, working at a difficult walking/jogging pace. Try to keep the same pace as you go up.
Once at the top, work your way back by decreasing the resistance/incline by 2% for 5 minutes.
When back on a “flat road,” work at a jog pace for 3 minutes, then end by walking for 2 minutes.
You can end the workout here, repeat, or try the same routine on the machine didn’t begin with!
Good luck!
