Let’s get started with something easy for your first day of HIIT challenge!
Day 1: 10-Minute HIIT run (treadmill)
[embedded content]
How to do it?
- Run a slow pace for a few seconds. It’s important to get yourself warmed up first to prevent leg cramps or other injuries.
- Run at your maximum pace for 30 seconds. Gradually increase the speed of the treadmill until you’re running at max pace.
- Run at a low/steady pace for 30 seconds. Gradually decrease running speed to a manageable/low intensity.
- Repeat for 10 minutes. You can make it easier by programming the treadmill for speed intervals (if possible).
Why it matters?
- High intensity interval training (or HIIT) is a popular method of keeping fit and healthy in a short span of time.
- The focus of HIIT is to train your body with bouts of short but intense effort followed by intervals of low effort.
- Interval training maximizes your body’s ability to burn calories while also training multiple muscles at once.
