5 Fun Treadmill Workouts

1 comment :

Treadmill workouts have always been a necessity for me. As a human rights lawyer, I am frequently working in places where it is too unsafe to run around outside. Recently, I spent an entire year living and working inside an armed compound in Afghanistan, where stepping outside the compound walls was strictly forbidden. As much as I loathed the treadmill, I hated the thought of giving up running even more, so I worked to make my indoor workouts as interesting as possible. With a little bit of ingenuity and a lot of time, I developed this unique repertoire of workouts to choose from, which kept me fit and entertained. Treadmill workouts continue to be a necessity in my life, but I no longer prepare for them with dread.

Not only does it take the body through most of the physiological zones, Bakken says, but it keeps the mind plenty stimulated.

How To Get Faster For Distance Running

As part of this ‘WORKOUT’ week I thought I would throw in a speed workout idea to switch up your running routine.  If you are going to get faster for your next race, you need to become familiar with one word, FARTLEK.  Yes, I said Fartlek.  I’m not talking about a bodily function or anything that may banish your husband from the bedroom at night. I’m talking about a serious workout.  Once you start doing these types of workouts you will find yourself immersed in a love, hate relationship.  For me, it’s a ‘hate’ relationship while i’m doing them and a ‘love’ relationship once it’s over.

The Fastest Ways to Lose Belly Fat

No comments :
Excess abdominal fat is correlated with a number of health conditions, from diabetes to inflammatory diseases. Abdominal fat cells release a hormone called adiponectin, which may disrupt cells’ ability to respond to insulin properly. These fat cells also release cytokines, which are inflammatory chemicals.
