Try This....Not That

Do you walk on the treadmill for what seems like hours as part of your exercise regimen?  Are you getting the fat burning results you want?  What if I told you that you could burn more fat in a shorter period of time on the treadmill?  It's true. 

Let's say you walk at a pace of 3.5 mph on the treadmill for your entire exercise session.  Tomorrow when you're at the gym, try walking at 3.8 mph for one to two minutes, then drop the pace back to 3.5 mph for one minute (or two if you need extra rest time), then back to 3.8 and so on.  Do this for 25 minutes.  Gradually increase the intensity over weeks.

You may have to go through an experimentation phase to find the right intensity level for this type of training.  Err on the side of caution so you don't exercise beyond your capacity. 

To Your Health,

Michelle Turner
