Workout Wednesday: Treadmill Interval Workout

Treadmill doesn't have to equal DREADmill!  This is a favorite treadmill workout that takes 30 minutes (without warmup/cooldown) and burns approximately 300 calories.  Its a hardcore, sweaty workout, but 300 calories in 30 minutes? Totally worth it!!

*It is always recommended to do a 3-5 minutes warmup before and after workout to avoid injury.

Staying Fit on the Road

When you have a busy work schedule that requires lots of overnight travel, working fitness into the mix is always a challenge. The simplest way to ensure your workouts don't skip a beat, commit to a 30-minute cross training routine made up of 4-6 of your favorite strength and cardio moves that you can do right in your hotel room-no equipment required! Try this routine:

20 push-ups
20 jumping jacks
20 squats-tap the floor with your hands!
20 side planks each side
20 mountain climbers

Keep doing these sets until 30-minutes is up and you should be sweaty Betty! Allow a 2-5 minute cooldown by walking in place and stretching your calves, hamstrings, hip flexors, quads, glutes, and sides.
