In this blog let’s look at some Treadmill Workout for Women

HIIT Workout : High-intensity interval training or HIIT workout designed by experts to help women burn fat and take their training regimen to the next level.

HIIT is a training style is made up of short, intense periods of exercise at maximum ability, followed by small rest periods. The workout mixes high-intensity cardio activities like sprinting and strength training for maximum muscle toning and weight loss in minimum time, fitting into even the busiest schedules.

Putting maximum effort while the workout is the key to get results from your exercise routine. Running at the speed of four is easy, and while running at that speed, you can carry out a conversation. While you cannot maintain RPE of 10 for long, a pace at which it isn’t possible to speak more than one or two words. In case your speed hampers your running technique compromises on your posture, reduce your speed slightly for a couple of sessions. Below is an example of HIIT workout by Jeff Archer.

Since the plan is tough, do not forget to stretch your legs after the training session, later in the day and also next morning. Refuel your body with a protein and carbohydrate snack within 60 minutes of completing the workout.
