Get It Up, Your Heart Rate That Is: Intervals For Treadmill
There are a thousand and one ways to work out on a treadmill, but my favorite is intervals. Once you set your pace on the treadmill, you can't really cheat and slow down since the speed is constant. The set speed helps me push myself out of comfort zone, which is one of the elements of interval training. I like the following workout because the recovery time of a minute, at a slow speed, is just enough for my heart rate to go down and for me to rev myself for the next interval. We all know that interval training can help you lose belly fat.
