3 Insane HIIT Treadmill Workouts

  The treadmill just might be the most overused piece of equipment in the gym; however, many people do not use the treadmill to their full advantage. Sometimes running at a steady pace for an hour just does not produce the type of results that you are looking for. To maximize your fat burn while on a treadmill, you must switch it up by using interval training mixed with HIIT. You've got to keep your body constantly guessing! This guarantees that you will sweat-a whole lot-and feel much more satisfied with the workout instead of feeling like you've just ran around in circles all day.
