45-Minute Treadmill Workout
This is one of my favorite workouts– both the running and walking! These are awesome, especially if you get bored out of your mind on the treadmill like I do. This morning, I did the walking workout, followed by 30 minutes of free weights (back and biceps).

Love it! Thanks.

I like these workouts too because you’re so busy switching things back and forth, the time seems to go by faster. I usually do intervals – 1% incline, alternating one minute walking at 4.0 and one minute running at 9.0. It’s HARD.

Do you hold on to the handle or pump your arms when you’re doing the increased incline segments?

I didn’t know that you could burn that many calories just walking. I did a varied routine on my treadmill that it automatically sets and after 40 minutes it told me I only burned 180 calories. Keep in mind that I kept the pace above 5 for most of my workout, spent a decent amount of time in the 6s and 7s jogging. Just goes to show how you can’t rely on machines to calculate your calories accurately.

Hi Jenn,
I agree. I think it would be tough to burn that many calories walking for 45 minutes. I found this workout out years ago, and it claims burning 450 calories in 45 minutes…which would probably be possible if you were running.

Hi Ashley,
I usually pump my arms when I am on the increased inclines. I try not to hold on the handle.

My treadmill said I burned 460 cals for the walking workout. Obviously seems a little high. Anyone have a better estimate of calories burned for the walking workout? Maybe 200? (I know it will depend on body type and experience of the person exercising but I’m just looking for a ballpark figure.)
on Jan 15th, 2009 at 10:47 am
I did the running workout last night, and I LOVED it! The speed intervals in the 20s really make it awesome.
I wore my Polar F7 and I burned 406 calories running exactly according to the instuctions here, so if anyone was curious, that is my stat as a 25 year old female doing the running workout. The run was 4 miles.

Thanks SO much for posting this workout! I’ve seen lots of fitness bloggers try it out, but I’m usually an outdoor runner. Today it was too cold, so I decided to give this one a try.
I loved it!! I just posted a shoutout to you on my blog:

Can’t wait to try this (tonight), just printed it! BTW, I love your website, i’m a gourmet healthy eater and a regular at the gym, I also prone balanced lifestyle
and I am always interested for new training ideas and meals. I found your website very well done and love the infos that you share!
There is a theadmill workout that I like a lot and that I will like to share. I believe it is good for someone who wants to improve his cardio or someone who get bored easily on a treadmill (!) :
You start up with 5 mins fast-walking at 4, then you run for another 5 minutes : 1 minute at 5, 1 minute at 6, 1 minute at 7, 1 minute at 8, 1 minute at 9 (if you can’t, do 2 minutes at 8 and skip the 9) = 10 minutes, repeat this 3 or 4 times (30 or 40 minutes) on a row and finish up with 5 minutes fast-walking. You can also start fast walking at 3 for 5 minutes and then go up until 8 (which was the original workout but I though walking at 3 was way too slow).

I’m a runner and brought this workout to the gym with me, good workout but modified it to stay at the higher mph for longer periods and shortened the warm-up to 3 minutes. Since my treadmill automatically does a cool down, I modified the last 5 minutes to 5.5 – 7 mph. Burned approx 450 calories at ran about 4.25 miles. May add more incline next time.
Time flys by because you keep adjusting the settings!

im glad you linked to this again today- i know you talk about this workout often, but i’ve never actually looked at it.
ive been doing lots of interval workouts on the treadmill this month, and usually i just create them before leaving for the gym, write them on a post it that i can then stick to the treadmill. I LOVE this one- its a bit more intense than mine which is a GREAT THING. Time to step it up
