Tread and Shred - HIIT Walk and Run 1

While there are a lot of ways to practice HIIT workouts, the treadmill can be a great tool when it comes to HIIT training!

In this 30-minute treadmill workout, you will have the opportunity to both walk and run your way towards a healthier you! The goal of HIIT intervals is to go as hard as you can for the working interval and then follow up with much needed rest. In fact, when you’re doing such intense intervals and taxing your muscles, it’s important to incorporate recovery.

This HIIT Walk and Run is available for all levels! Whether you are a beginner or an avid runner this workout is for everyone. The purpose behind this workout is to have you run or jog the working intervals (you pick your pace) and then you get to recover in a walk.

Whether the intervals are 1 minute long, 30 seconds long, or even shorter bursts of energy at 20 seconds, you get to pick your speed. There is no right or wrong when it comes to your speed! Challenge yourself to pick a speed that feels good in your body but also challenges you!

What To Expect In This Workout:

• – 4-5 Minute Warm-Up
• – Block 1 Intervals
• – Block 2 Intervals
• – Block 3 Intervals
• – 1 Minute Cool-Down

Some of the benefits of HIIT training include reducing your chance of injury, increasing muscle strength and endurance, increasing running speed, and allows you to feel an intense endorphin rush. Yes, that thing called a “runner’s high” is a real thing!

Throughout this walk/run workout, do not be ashamed of your walking breaks. In fact, it’s encouraged to walk the recoveries. Both walking and running (or jogging) is not only acceptable, but it’s actually been proven to make you a stronger and faster runner.
