Treadmill HIIT and Core Conditioning Video

Posted on by Naomi

Hey friends! How was everyones day today? I had a fabulous day. I took a break from the weights today and decided to give the muscles a rest in turn for some hardcore HIIT cardio


I was reading up on some blogs, and one of my favorites, Jillfit had another amazing cardio HIIT workout. I was in the mood for the treadmill today, and also really in the mood to push myself out of my comfort zone so I was very happy to see a new workout that she posted on her site!

Guys, this was killer. Don’t let the lower speeds fool you because those ‘lower’ speeds paired with those higher inclines make that 1 min interval feel like a lifetime! I completed the whole workout to a T, exactly as it is written and I was a sweaty mess afterwards. I really felt this workout through my hamstrings and glutes due to the steep incline. One word of advice…take advantage of the ‘recovery’ intervals of 2 speed and the given incline…even if you think you want to crank it up higher during your recovery, leave it at 2…You will need that energy towards the second half of this workout. I ended up covering just under 3 miles and burning 395 calories (from what the treadmill said) It was great!
