Treadmill Workout That Burns Over 300 Calories

The 300-Calorie-Burning Wogging Workout


Updated 02/06/12 3:31 PM · Posted by FitSugar · 13 comments

Last Fall, I was all about the running, and would have been all over the 500-calorie-burning treadmill running workout. But now that I'm prego, doing sprint intervals at 8 mph is just not happening. Instead of running, wogging is more my speed — walking with jogging intervals. It's not only great for those expecting, but a perfect lower impact workout if you're a beginner, or have always run, but need to take it easy one day.

This 60-minute wogging workout alternates between walking briskly and jogging slowly. If you're looking to burn just over 300 calories for your next treadmill workout, keep reading.


Set the treadmill incline to zero.
