There are benefits to jumping on the treadmill, especially over winter if you’re not built for the cold alternative of road running. Throw your headphones in and avoid the rain or snow to burn some calories and we have outlined just how to do that.
1. High Intensity Interval Training
‘HIIT’ will be the option to burn the most calories in the shortest amount of time and is designed to improve your overall cardiovascular strength.Technique
- Split your workout in to working and rest periods
- Ensure your rest is equal to or slightly shorter than your working period
- An example would be 20 seconds hard work and 10 seconds rest
- The hint is in the ‘High Intensity’ so make sure you hit a sprint pace
2. Low Intensity Steady State
‘LISS’ is the easier option if you do not feel like HIIT will apply to you for any reason. May take longer but you will see similar results and as much as a sweat.
Technique
- Vary the difficulty of a brisk walk or slow run
- Use lower speeds to keep it steady
- Vary the incline without using Hill Climbs to amend the difficulty
