My HIIT Treadmill Workout!

     I'm so excited to share this with you! I love HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workouts and have been playing around with my own for a while. HIIT is perfect for building strength and stamina, as well as torching fat! You can find all sorts of HIIT workouts online, ranging from treadmill to dumbbell workouts. I have even come across a few that require nothing at all except for space to move around! Personally, I prefer to do HIIT only in my treadmill workouts for some good, quick cardio. The workout below is one that I made and have done a few times in the past few weeks. Since I'm changing it up every couple of minutes, I don't get bored, and as it gets easier, I will adjust my speed and/or inclines. Keep in mind that this workout is great for me; I have short legs, so the 3.5 speed is pretty brisk for me, while it's an easy walk in the park for other people. And 6.0 is pretty close to a sprint for me! Feel free to adjust this to fit your fitness level. This is a pretty good workout for the HIIT beginner!
