New to the treadmill
Recently I joined a new gym. I like it because it is 24 hours, and I can work out anytime. I like running outside, but have decided to do interval training on a treadmill. I have just played around with different inclines and speeds randomly, as well as followed a workout provided by the gym. Does anyone have any good interval training workouts for beginners? I know I can google it, but I would like to know what you enjoy doing. Here is what I have been doing.
1. 0-5 Warm up 1%incline/3.5 speed
2. 5-8 jog 3%/4.5
3. 8-9 recover 3%/3.5
4. 9-11 lunges 10%/3
5. 11-12 recover 1%/4
6. 12-19 repeat 2-5
7. 19-22 jog 5%/4.5
8. 22-23 run 1%/ 6
9. 23-25 jog 3%/4.5
10. 25-30 cool down 1%/3.5
I will normally repeat steps to bring it to 45 minutes. I hope it helps me learn to jog faster, because while I can jog 5 miles, I am so slow. I look forward to any suggestions you have!
