Top Tips to burn more calories on a treadmill!
Want to burn more calories?
Intervals. Running at a consistent pace is great for longer training runs, but during your intense workouts, take advantage of intervals. By changing between a few minutes faster at a steady pace and adding in bursts of speed at a faster pace you’ll burn more calories, build endurance, and become a faster, healthier runner. Also studies show intervals have been proven to reduce belly fat.
Here’s a 30-minute treadmill interval training session to try.
Gradually increase your speed throughout your training workout. Don’t start your run at a seven mile per hour (mph) pace as you need to give your body a chance to warm up. Start out with a fast walk (4 mph) and every five to 10 minutes, increase your speed slightly until you’re running at a 5 to 8 mph pace.
Run longer. Try mixing up the type of running sessions, ie on days that you’re not running intervals or building up speed, do a longer run at a consistent pace. If you run for 30 minutes (at a pace of 10 minutes per mile) you’ll burn 270 calories. Forty-five minutes burns 405 calories, and even longer, an hour-long run burns 540 calories.
Good luck!
