On the Minute

Here is a new workout for you to try! I did it on the treadmill, but you could also do it at a track or just outside in your neighborhood.

Start with a 10 minute warm up - for me I went on on easy jog, but walking might be good too.

Now you'll be doing 3 minute sets that go like this:

1 minute - brisk walk

1 minute - jog/run

1 minute - sprint

Repeat it 6-7 times, then end with a cool down walk and stretch it out! It's easy to remember, simple to do and it is great because it gets your heart rate up and then down again. Let me know if you try it!

Track Workout

The weather is starting to feel like fall, and I pretty much love it! It helps that with the cooler weather comes not having to leave for a longer run so early so it doesn't get so hot. A track is a great place to get a solid workout in, and a workout that you can mix up to make it your own. And that often means you won't get bored, which some people do when they are just out running. So head to your nearest track and try this out! (be sure to be smart about what your body can handle and don't do more than you are ready for - and always modify when necessary!)
