Blast Fat (And Boredom) With This Treadmill Workout
Even avid exercisers find excuses to skip workouts in winter. So we asked Norma Shechtman, an award-winning fitness instructor, to develop a lower-body fitness routine that burns fat, builds muscle, is a fun workout—and can be done indoors.
She surprised us with a routine that utilizes an old standby that’s probably sitting in your basement: a fitness-walking treadmill workout. “Many people think of treadmills as monotonous,” she says. “I wanted to prove that you can have 3 whole months of a fitness-walking treadmill workout with so much variety you’ll never get bored.” The treadmill is the most popular piece of home exercise equipment, and for many walkers and runners, it’s the only way they can stick with their workouts during the cold winter months.
