Walking Treadmill Intervals Workout

By Courtney 37 Comments

This morning, I waited in line at the post office for 28 minutes. Yes…twenty-eight. So, needless to say, a cup of my favorite iced coffee to keep me sane was much needed.

IMG_6499

In an attempt to pass the time, I of course whipped out my phone and played around on there for a bit. Well as I was going through some emails, I noticed a comment from Ruthie on last night’s Sweaty Mess Incline Intervals Workout post:

quest

Sometimes, I forget that not everyone is a runner. Heck, there are some days where the thought of running makes me cringe a little (like today).

After a quick look at my Workout page, I realized that I only had one walking interval routine. ONE! Although the 45 Minute Treadmill Walk is a favorite of mine, I couldn’t believe that I didn’t have more options.

Well that had to change immediately. I knew that the inclines on my latest routine were intense, so they would work just as well with a walking speed as they would a running speed. So with a couple quick tweaks of the numbers, I now present to you…

 

[print_this]

The “Sweaty Mess” WALKING Incline Intervals

sweaty mess walking incline intervals

Now when I chose speeds for this routine, I chose numbers that I knew would work best for me. Since I do have longer legs, my walking speeds may be different from someone else with, say, a 5’3” frame. So feel free to tweak the numbers for whatever works best for you.

[/print_this]

 

Is 4.6mph not a walking speed for you? No prob…just work within your comfort level (but don’t get *too comfortable…you really want to work it!) to find what works!

*****

Now, it’s time to go make some lunch; I finally have blueberries again so I’m 99% sure that one of these will be enjoyed. Yum!

Questions for the Afternoon:

WOULD YOU RATHER… (you didn’t think I forgot, did you?) Winking smile

  • Have a beautiful house and ugly car -OR- an ugly house and beautiful car?
  • Make headlines for saving somebody’s life -OR- winning a Nobel prize?
  • Be on top of a Ferris wheel during an earthquake –OR- during an electrical storm?

    -Beautiful house for sure. I don't even own a car, I couldn't care less about them. -Saving someone's life, unless the Nobel prize was for a cure or something that would save lots of people's lives. -Earthquake - I'm totally scared of lightning.

    Initially read that first one as Have a beautiful HORSE/ugly car. I was like.... how are those related? then I thought, "I guess no one wants an ugly horse. Car it is!" Even though it's house, I definitely would still choose ugly car, a nobel prize, and a lightning storm. If I go down, I'd rather it be in a firework-like blaze of glory than an obnoxious shaking of the earth. Those are just tacky.

    Beautiful home! I'll just hide the ugly car in the garage ;) I like Cait's response up there - I'd rather save someone's life unless the Nobel was for finding a cure for a debilitating or deadly disease. I think I'd rather be on a ferris wheel in a lightning storm -- you would never be the tallest point, so I think if lightning hit the wheel, you'd be okay? I could be wrong. It'd be super scary, but the thought of falling to the ground in an earthquake from the top of a ferris wheel sounds terrifying.

    beautiful house, save someone's life and I guess electrical storm. I'm going with the storm being less probability of an actual lightning strike than the earthquake bringing the ferris wheel down. That's a tough one though!

    Wow, thanks for this! I'm not a runner myself, but I do like a good walking routine on the treadmill. Strange, though, is that my treadmill only goes up to a 10 incline (it is old school, I admit, but it gets the job done). I wonder at that!

    I love how you have a printable version of your workouts! Most of the time bloggers just list them and I end up writing it down on a piece of paper...but this makes it SO much easier. I would rather...have a beautiful house (don't really care about cars as long as it works, I mean you LIVE in your house), win a Nobel prize (which I kind of feel bad about) anddd prob neither on the Ferris wheel...I'm terrified of heights so both would scare the heck out of me!

Hmm I'd def rather have a beautiful house & ugly car- i dont really care about cars as long as they run!

    Hmm...beautiful house, Nobel peace prize, and neither for that last one! Both sound pretty dangerous! But..if I had to choose I would probably go Electrical Storm. The odds of getting struck by lightening are pretty small right? Whereas an earthquake could easily throw off the balance of the ferris wheel, thus making it topple over. Annnddd, I am giving this WAY too much thought, lol. Clearly good questions this time!

    Coffee always makes everything better :) Definitely have a beautiful house and ugly car...I'm a homebody! Make headlines for saving somebody’s life...I love being a good Samaritan...and what goes around comes around ;) Eek this one freaks me out! I guess be on top of a Ferris wheel during an earthquake...assuming it's earthquake proof and couldn't fall over! I would think that no matter what I'd get electrocuted during an electrical storm b/c of all it's lights so I'd have to go with the earthquake?!

    I'm so glad you posted this! I typically don't work out on treadmills but do almost every time I'm traveling, which is pretty frequently lately. I can't wait to try this out soon! And I'd rather have a beautiful house, make headlines for saving someone's life, and I don't want to be on ferris wheel during either! I guess I'd choose on top during an earthquake. AAH!

    Ooo great workout! Thanks for posting it :). Love these questions haha. 1. I would rather have a pretty house and an ugly car. You entertain others in your house, not your car (at least I don't lol) 2. I would rather make headlines for saving someone's life- that would be awesome 3. Um...neither! But if I have to pick, then I guess an electrical storm? I feel like if there was an earthquake then the thing would for sure fall over and we'd all die, but there is still a chance that it would get hit by lightening
