30 Minute Treadmill HIIT

State Fair Day! State Fair Day!

I! Can’t! Wait!

Today is Workout Wednesday and there will be no slacking just because it’s fair day. I’m so committed aren’t I? It’s a beautiful thing and I like to enjoy it while it lasts.

My hamstrings are still a teeny bit sore from my last Body Beast Legs workout so I figured a good HIIT workout would be good for them rather than attempting my scheduled Leg workout. I could just walk but that’s too slow-going for me. Besides, I’ll be doing plenty of walking later today.

After the workout, my legs actually feel better now than before I started and I’m lovin’ it. I gotta get back to regular cardio sessions to prepare for Rugged Maniac! It’s just over 2 weeks away and I’ve got some work to do.

Here’s the 30-minute HIIT workout I completed:

For clarity:

• 5 minute warm-up.
• ONE minute at 7 mph followed by TWO minutes at 5.5 mph – repeated for 5 times total (15 minutes).
• Walked ONE minute to recover a bit.
• 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off for a total of 10 times (5 minutes)
• 4-minute cool down.

Total time: 30 minutes

Total calories burned: 245

When I was done, I felt like puking. I’m all better now. :)

Off to the fair!
