Do It Anyway Treadmill Workout

This 30 minute treadmill workout is perfect for the days when you don't really feel like being on the treadmill and know you probably wouldn't last 15 minutes before you call it quits. It starts and ends with a 5 minute run, but with intervals in between - 2 minutes fast, 2 minutes faster and 1 minute recovery. This run is designed to make you sweat it out for 30 minutes.

Remember, the inclines & speeds are just suggestions, so tailor them to your comfort level - just make sure it's challenging for you.
