Workout Week: 30-Minute Hill and Flat #Treadmill Workout

Welcome to another edition of Workout Week!  Every day this week, I will provide you with a workout that you can a) File away for later, or b) Do with me. But first, I must remind you you: Please make sure you have the go-ahead from your doctor to exercise. If you haven't done so in a really long time, I urge you to speak with him/her first. Better to be safe than sorry, right? And speaking of "being safe," please remember to work at your own pace. Whatever I provide to you is merely a suggestion, and to get the most benefits, you'll need to be honest with yourself about how much you can really do. Push, but don't hurt yourself.

Up first, a 30-minute treadmill workout that tackles a hill, then a flat. It's great for those days where you just want to get in, get moving and get out. Don't get too hung up on the numbers. Just use them as a guideline or pattern to follow. Where I provide a running speed, just walk if that feels better to you—but try and walk at a faster pace if that's comfortable. Not only are we heading up a hill with this one, we're playing a bit of an interval game and ending with a sprint. Triple whammy.

Have it it:

Up tomorrow, a total-body workout. Woot!

If you try this out, please come back and let me know what you think! (Thanks!)
