Incline your Behind

Hi Hawties!

Last week my trainer gave me a great cardio workout! I had been looking for an intense workout that burns a lot of calories and that would have me drenched by the end of the workout. Now, honestly when he first told me, I stuck to my usual cardio workout(running a mile or two) because it just didn’t sound intense enough for me.

I should have just listened when he told me the first time. On Wednesday, after one of our workout sessions he told me to get on the treadmill…..walk……briskly….on incline…..for 40 minutes. After the first 5 minutes your girl was feeling it! Let me tell you, I don’t usually sweat a lot but after this workout I was soaked. It tones the legs, flattens the abs and tightens the bunz all at the same time!(I sound like an infomercial) but it’s so true! I burned 400 calories. I urge everyone to go try it out this week!

Incline Treadmill Workout:

-Incline:15
-Speed: 4.0
-Duration:40 minutes
-Calories you will burn: 300-400
