Treadmill Exercise Program - Forty Five Minute Fat Blaster With an Added Plus
Do you use a treadmill as part of your overall fitness regimen? Do you find yourself getting bored with the same old workout week after week? Well, here's a new 45 minute workout that will bust boredom and blast away fat...
This 45 minute program has a little bit of everything. As with any of our treadmill workouts, you can walk or run the entire time, whatever works for you. We recommend a little of both to help provide variation to your routine. Changing up your routine every two weeks is a great way to help you reach your fitness goals, because your body won't get used to the workout and simply go through the motions.
During the 45 minutes, you will do a combination of speed and incline work. Further, there are six sets of squats (yes, squats!) built in as a challenging change of pace. To do the workout, you will need one heavy hand weight. We recommend a 10, 12, or 15 pound weight, any of which are readily available at your health club.
Follow along and give this program a chance. We guarantee you will find it a challenge! Here we go...
Minutes 0-5: Warm up at 1% incline. Pick an easy walking or running pace, but fast enough to get you warm. A good rule of thumb for walkers is at least 3.2 miles per hour.
Minutes 5-10: Let's continue warming up a little more. Take the incline to 2% and pick up your pace.5 mph.
Now we will do three sets of what we call pick up intervals, all at 1% incline. The sequence is six minutes; three sets of one minute on, one minute off in a manner of speaking.
Minute 10-11: Choose a challenging pace for one minute. Push yourself into a run if you normally walk.
Minute 11-12: Back off your pace for one minute. This is just a recovery, not a full rest. Keep the pace moderate.
Minute 12-13: Increase your speed to the same challenging pace.
Minute 13-14: Bring your speed down.
Minute 14-15: Increase your speed. Last interval this set!
Minute 15-16: Reduce your speed. Go a little slower and get ready to step off the treadmill.
Are you ready for squats?
Minute 16-17: Step off the back of your treadmill and grab your hand weight with one hand on each end. Squat with the hand weight held just in front of your chest. When you stand up from the squat, lift the weight over your head and bring back to chest level when you descend. Can you do 25 repetitions in one minute?
Minute 17-18: Get back on the treadmill and walk or jog at an easy pace. The incline is still at 1%.
From minutes 18 to 24, repeat the six minute interval as shown above. One minute on, one minute off, 3 sets of two minutes each.
Minute 24-25: One minute of squats with your hand weight.
Minute 25-26: One minute of recovery back on the treadmill.
Ok, from minutes 26 to 30 we are doing two sets of two minute intervals. Just like the six minute interval segments shown above, except only for four minutes this time. Alternate each minute at a challenging pace and then a back off pace.
Minute 30-31:
One minute of squats. Can you increase your repetitions?
Minute 31-32: Hop back on the treadmill for one minute of recovery.
Minutes 32-35: Three minutes at a steady and challenging pace. We will be going into hill work at the 35 minute mark. Get ready!
Minute 35-36: Increase the incline to 8% and try to walk at 4 mph for 60 seconds.
Minute 36-37: One minute of squats.
Minute 37-38: Take the incline to 6%, keep the same speed.
Minute 38-39: One minute of squats.
Minute 39-40: Take the incline to 4%, same speed.
Minute 40-41: Your last set of squats!
Minute 41-42: 2% incline at the same speed.
Minutes 42-45: 1% incline and reduce speed for your cool down.
Summary
All told, you do six one minute sets of squats in this program. Stepping off the treadmill to do squats may seem like it breaks your rhythm, but trust us when we say it is a great way to challenge yourself. Again, your body gets used to doing the same thing all the time. Stick with this workout for two weeks straight and you will see significant results!
If you found this treadmill exercise program interesting, we've got a lot more for you! The key to increasing your overall fitness level is to consistently vary your workouts. If you change your treadmill workouts every two weeks, you will never get bored and you will achieve better results.
