I am not a huge fan of cardio and would prefer to just lift weights faster. Unfortunately, I have a specified amount of cardio in my weekly plan that I must do to reach my goals. It’s cold here in Michigan so I decided to stay indoors and hit the treadmill for some intervals. On paper this workout looked pretty manageable but let me tell you, I was dying half way through (I did this the day after leg day so that probably didn’t help). I may have had to walk during a few of the recoveries but I pushed through all of the sprints until the end. After completing the below intervals I named it “Butt Kicking Treadmill Workout”. Have fun and enjoy!
