This entire cycle will take 14 minutes. If you like you can do a 3 minute
warmup and 3 minute cooldown to make it a 20 minute workout or repeat this workout for another round or two for a 28-42 minute walk. You can modify the time duration, speed and incline to suit your individual fitness level.
By walking inclines at a fairly quick pace you will not only watch your heart
rate shoot up to work your cardiovascular system but will also shape and tone
your butt, thighs and calves! If you can comfortably, try not to hang onto the
treadmill but rather lean forward on the inclines and swing your arms with bent
elbows for a more challenging workout. By doing this you will increase the
calories burned. If you are a more advanced workout enthusiast, you may try
holding a pair of 3-5lb dumbbells as well!
As always, I recommend you check with your physician first to ensure you are
prepared for this or any other workout. If you feel pain or dizziness, stop the
workout and contact your physician. That's my disclaimer... hafta throw that
in!
