30-Minute Treadmill Workouts

July 19, 2012 by Hillary 1 Comment

I have a special surprise for you all this afternoon (now evening as I’m teaching myself how to blog with Miss Mac). Recently, Anna, Editor-in-Chief at RunReviews contacted me about their new treadmill workout creator tool. How did she know I l-o-v-e treadmill workouts? Runners and gym rats, this is one neat tool and very simple to use. Anna asked if she could share her treadmill experience with you all, as well as five 30-minute treadmill workouts. These workouts are ideal for beginners, short and easier in intensity. Without further ado, here’s Anna…

I still remember the questions that popped into my head when I first ran on the treadmill: “How do they count the calories I’m burning?”, “Are these numbers real?” I imagined they were, so I didn’t worry about enjoying myself at a food feast after a sweaty workout at the gym. I wasn’t running to lose weight, but since I was already exerting myself, why not also indulge? As I was about to find out, my original calculations were wrong because after a few months I realized that I had put on a couple of pounds on my hips, instead of losing them.

The truth is that the numbers we see on consoles are just estimations and, as long as they don’t consider any personal information, especially the user’s weight, they may not apply to you. We shouldn’t put our entire faith in numbers if we plan to lose some weight. Instead, we should always keep a balanced diet where exercise and food complete each other in harmony. 

After a bad start, I paid more attention to what I ate after the gym, and results started to show quickly. However, ever since I began to run, I’ve exercised at least 30 minutes a day and I always make sure my routine is diversified. I alternate between speed and incline workouts, and I do intervals at least once a week. When I have the chance, I go for a run outdoors with my friends.

Any type of exercise burns some calories, but we stick to a routine only when we diversify our workouts. 30-minute exercises are easy to alternate and easy to integrate in our busy daily schedules. However, to burn calories, intensity is also important. The treadmill can offer a good combination between intensity and variation, especially if it’s a model that includes the User Profile option with custom workouts. With this feature in hand, you can add unlimited custom workouts and enjoy each exercise. Moreover, when you preset your workout, the treadmill changes incline and speed automatically.

In today’s post, I want to share 5 of my favorite treadmill workouts, useful and motivational. Please keep in mind that I’m not a certified trainer; therefore, please remember that exercises should be performed at your own risk.

I used the RunReviews Workout Creator tool to design this post’s workouts because this application also calculates the estimated calories you burn considering the user weight. You can print them easily and take them with you to the gym.

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
