We are pumped to share one of our favorite stories from Health.com here on our site. By Tina Haupert It’s that time of year when I take my running workouts inside to the treadmill. Or should I say dreadmill? The treadmill can be a real drag, but I find that using a plan to guide my workout keeps me on track, interested, and motivated, so the time flies by. Here are three of my favorite (read: not boring) treadmill workouts. Health.com: Fun Ways to Get Fit Without a Gym Walk-Jog- Sprint This is one of my go-to workouts when I’m dreading my time on the treadmill. It keeps me guessing for a solid 45 minutes, so it’s over before I know it! And I feel like I’ve really worked hard when I’m done. I’m almost always a sweaty mess at the end! Walk at 4.0 at 7.5 incline for 4 minutes Jog at 6.5 at 1.0 incline for 5

minutes Repeat walk and jog twice Jog at 6.5 at 2.0 incline for 3 minutes Run at 7.0 at 1.0 incline for 3 minutes Sprint at 8.0 at 1.0 incline for 1 minute Jog at 6.0 at 1.0 incline for 1 minute Sprint at 8.0 at 1.0 incline for 1 minute Run at 7.0 at 1.0 incline for 1 minute Jog at 6.5 at 1.0 incline for 3 minutes Cool down (walk) for 5 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Health.com: Winter-Proof Your Run Roll Play Changing my speed every two minutes keeps my interest and motivation high while running on the treadmill. I covered a little over 5.5 miles in 60 minutes during this workout. There’s a walking interval from minutes 30 to 35, so this workout can easily be shortened to 35 minutes if needed. Keep on reading for two more treadmill workouts.
