Bored with the Treadmill?

Quick Fitness Tip: It's easy to get sick of doing the same thing at the gym. Try mixing it up. Switch machines. If you always use the elliptical go to the bike or stair stepper. Variety is the key and your muscles get used to doing the same thing so they're less likely to change. Who cares what you're doing as long as you get your heart rate up and you're moving.

Here's one of my favorite workouts to do on the treadmill if I don't feel like running on it. Try walking. I know it might sound pretty easy, but give this workout a go and you'll change your mind about that.

5 min-warmup 3.0 mph
5 min-3.5 mph/incline 1.o
5 min-4.0 mph/incline 2.5
10 min-3.5 mph/incline 3.5

Repeat 2 or 3 times and then cool down for 5 min at 3.0 mph. You'll be feeling it in your legs and heart for sure.
