30 Minute Treadmill Workout

Honest to god I don't exactly enjoy working out but I know that it's really good for your heart and I feel all the benefits of working out when I do work out (able to sleep better, my skin looks better... etc). I've looked up and kind of made up my own treadmill workout that really tones your legs. (Keep in mind that I don't really work out to lose weight, I just work out to maintain my figure/tone up).

Start by warming up: Walk at a speed of 4.0 on an incline of at least 2.5 (I do 2.5 for one minute, then increase it gradually up to 5). Do this for 4 minutes!

Run at a speed of 7.0 to 7.5 on an incline of 3.5 for 4 minutes.

Walk at a speed of 3.8 on an incline of 4.0 for 2 minutes.

Run at a speed of 6.8 on an incline of 4.0 for 4 minutes.

Walk at a speed of 3.7 on an online of 10.0 for 2 minutes.

Then lower to speed to 3.5 and increase the incline to 13.0 and keep walking for another 5 minutes.

Run at a speed of 7.0 to 7.5 on an incline of 2.5 for 4 minutes.

Then cool down - walk at a speed of 3.5 and an incline of 2.0 for 4 minutes.

I know that it's only a 30 minute workout but the intervals really make the workout more effective, you will feel it in your legs afterwards! Don't worry about burning calories, just worry about being active and toning up!
