My Favorite Treadmill Workouts

3 simple indoor treadmill workout routines

Today I’m sharing my three go-to 30 minute treadmill workouts for whatever stage of running you are in! All of these can be adjusted to accommodate your pace and stage of running. I love high intensity interval training on a treadmill because it helps to get your heart rate up, drop it down and ultimately burn the maximum amount of calories. These workouts will keep you burning calories all day long!

30 Minute High Intensity Interval Training Treadmill Workout
*a great HIIT workout for strong runners!

  • Set treadmill to 2 incline
  • Alternate walking at 4.0 mph for one minute and sprinting for one minute, for 30 minutes
  • First 10 minutes: alternate walking 4.0 mph for one minute and sprinting for one minute. Sprint speeds will be 7.5 mph/7.8 mph/8.0 mph/7.8 mph/7.5 mph.
  • Next 10 minutes: alternate walking at 4.0 mph for one minute and sprinting for one minute. Sprint speeds will be 8.0 mph/8.2 mph/8.5 mph/8.2 mph/8.0 mph.
  • Last 10 minutes: alternate walking at 3.8 mph and sprinting for one minute. Sprint speeds will be 8.5 mph/ 8.7 mph/ 9.0 mph/ 9.2 mph/ 9.5 mph. 

*note: work at a pace you’re comfortable with and work to get faster every time you do this workout!
