Cardio Circuit-Treadmill

Want a cardio workout that makes you feel like a machine and want to die at the same time? Great! It only takes a total of 20 minutes and I promise you'll be physically done.

It's all about making the most of your time, so have a "GIT ER DONE" attitude while you have the few minutes in the day for yourself. 

***REMEMBER-these are my times and speeds, you need to work at your own pace. I built up to this-if you can't sprint for 90 seconds, then don't. Try as hard as you can, sprint and jog at your own pace. Push yourself, but don't injure yourself. 

I always like to make little bets with myself. I promised I wouldn't stop until I got to 2.5 miles and I wanted to do it under a certain time. So I proved to myself that I could do it and the pay off was sweet:) 

30 - 60 - 90 HIIT

This week is off week from BOOTCAMP so it was back to the gym for me. It was so hard going back there after being used to just being told what to do, when to do it, and had others there pushing me. It's a whole different ball game trying to push yourself and facing the annoying gym scene....really not my fave. But I went anyways since I totally lived it up yesterday, gotta love Sundays! I did a different rendition of the High Intensity Interval Training than I usually do. It was new to me and challenging, so I wanted to share it with you. You're in and out in under 30 minutes, you'll sweat like crazy, and you'll be DONE!

You can adjust the MPH as needed, this is just what I did. It's just important that you really push yourself and are sprinting in the Hi parts, going a little faster than a jog in the Mid, and not just slowly walking in the Lo, you want it to be a brisk/speed walk.

It's important to warm up and cool down for about 5 minutes before and after. I always like to stretch and walk for a couple minutes when doing HIIT.

Doing this three times a week will aid in accelerated fat loss and increase your cardiovascular strength.
