Treadmill Routine

Hey guys! Here is my basic treadmill routine. This is something I came up with that works for me on the treadmill, so change what you need to best fit your workout. I like to do intervals on the treadmill because 1) umm, running is hard and 2) intervals are a more effective way of training.

Treadmill Routine 1


  1. Warm-up walk for 5 minutes. I typically start out at 2 or 2.5 and work my way up to 3.5 or 3.6.
  2. Light jog for 5 minutes. I jog at 4.5 because I'm still new to it, but I'm planning on amping it up soon.
  3. Power walk for 3 minutes. I walk at 3.5 or 3.6. You don't want to slow down too much.
  4. Repeat 2 & 3 for 3 times for a total of 4 intervals. 
  5. Cool down walk for 5 minutes. I use the treadmill's cool down feature, but you can easily just decrease your speed on your own. 
This will give you a workout of approximately 42 minutes. I put my headphones in, blast Pandora, and tune everything else out. :)
