Just HIIT it

Today I am going to share with you the thing that has changed not only my workout routine but my life.  HIIT (high intensity interval training) is seriously a miracle, at least for me, and I urge you to give it a try and see if it works wonders for your life as well. The type of HIIT I do is on a treadmill where I run super fast (for me) for a minute and then rest for 30 seconds. Basically this exercise spikes your heart rate and REALLY makes you sweat; I'm talking looks like you just got out of a pool sweat. This not only makes you sweat but it energizes you for the rest of the day unlike any caffeine you could possibly consume. I feel like I could be almost as awesome as Beyonce after I do HIIT and hopefully you will too! The best time to do it would be early or mid-morning time so hop up out of your bed and go HIIT!!

HIIT Treadmill routine:
30 minutes
4 minutes walking on maximum incline at 3.5 speed
1 minute walking on 0% incline at 2.0 speed
1 minute running at 0% incline at 6.0 speed
30 seconds walking at 0% incline at 2.0 speed
1 minute running at 0% incline at 6.5 speed
30 seconds walking at 0% incline at 2.0 speed
1 minute at 7.0 speed
30 seconds walking at 2.0 speed
1 minute run at 7.5 speed
30 seconds walking at 2.0 speed
1 minutes run at 8.0 speed
5 minutes at maximum incline at 3.5 speed
1 minute walking on 0% incline at 2.0 speed
start the interval training again but start at 6.5 and go up by .5 increments like before until you hit 30 minutes!
