I can’t even put into words how insanely crazy this week has been! I’m slammed at work, I’m busy at home, I still have like 16 episodes of Breaking Bad to watch. This is a problem people.
Not a problem?? This HIIT workout I did for the Best Body Bootcamp. Sometimes I amaze even myself because through the insanity, I can still find time to hit the gym and de-stress. This workout was a PERFECT fit for a hectic life!
The instructions from Tina were: 20 minutes, 5 minutes of warm up, 10 minutes of 60/60 intervals, and 5 minutes of cool down. I could have done this workout on the spin bike, or the elliptical, or even outside – but I chose to do it on the treadmill. <–I would not have said this a year ago.
Here’s the playlist:
Here’s the workout:
2.35 miles later… it KICKED my booty. My hamstrings are talking to me. The best part was that it was only 20 minutes (I followed it up with about 20-25 minutes of arms at home!).
Next time I think I will keep the speed and up the incline during the intervals. I figured I needed to slowly introduce myself to hills. They haven’t seen those in quite a while!
Do you have any workouts worth sharing? PLEASE Link them in the comments so I can pin them. I love new workouts!

LOL to 6.8 being your “rest”. I was doing 800s at 7.0 today and could get through 2 of them. I was supposed to do 8.
Probably ended up doing the same amount of mileage as you. I guess some mileage is better than no mileage!
Yes – some mileage is better than none always!
Running 6.8 at zero incline after running at 8.0 with a 2.0 incline felt amazing. I don’t think I could have done it any longer than a minute – and knowing I was only doing 5 of them helped too. It’s all about the mental perception!
Paula took the words right out of my mouth: rest at 6.8? I wish I had your speed girl!
oh Breaking Bad is sooo good right now! you have to catch up!
