Treadmill Interval Workout


Focus on alternating between high intensity intervals and recovery periods to increase endurance and burn calories. 

  • Beginners:  Modify according to your fitness level. If you need more recovery time, take it.  If the intensity intervals are too long, go as long as you can and recover.  Add a few minutes to your workouts each week to progress.  
  • The speeds/inclines given are only examples.  Increase/decrease as needed.  
  • Use the Perceived Exertion Scale or Target Heart Rate Calculator to monitor your exercise intensity.
  • Any activity (stairmaster, step mill, elliptical trainer, bike, swimming, etc.) can be substituted.
  • If you can't talk or feel dizzy, stop!
  • Always check with your doctor before starting an exercise program
