If you are having doubts that this will help you reach your goal of a healthy and fit body, then by all means look further. But if I have caught your attention then please read on.

Doing the interval training is definitely not the easiest way train and lose weight but it is certainly effective. You have to wait for the machine to catch up with your desired pace. But the treadmill is sometimes the only choice at a fitness center. Personally, I would go for a sprint down the track or the park, or ride the stationary bike. But having the most basic machine will do. You just have to be disciplined when doing this.

First up is adjusting the incline. For beginner, this is the most ideal treadmill workout plan because it’s very simple yet effective. Have the machine’s incline leveled at zero degrees, then set it to a slow pace. Make sure you can maintain it even if you are tired. Use this speed for the course of the workout. After getting warmed up, you can adjust the incline to level 1. Do this in 30 seconds for a good burst. Turn it back to 0 and walk again. You this for 8 -10 cycles and follow it up with a 3 minute cool down to prevent exhaustion. You can complete this workout within just 20 minutes.

2nd workout plan I can give you is adjustment of speed. Run in a flat angle but tweak the speed instead. Turn the speed up to run in a fast pace or 30 seconds and slow it down for another 30. Then pump it up again to the speed you want for another 30 seconds. Do this in the same number of intervals as the first workout plan. They key is to effectively apply the interval training.

There is this protocol called Tabata and it’s the 3rd in our list. This is done with same number of intervals only faster. You work for 20 seconds and rest for the next ten. This protocol is pretty fast, ensuring that your mind and body never forgets this workout.

Number four would be tweaking the rest work ratio. Work is the time when you are running at fast pace and rest would be its opposite, walking in slow pace. Tweak it to get the most of the workout. The usual ratio is 1:1, you can adjust it to 2:1 or 3:1 and so on depending on your preference. For example having a 2:1 ratio means that you will be spending 40 seconds work and 20 second of rest.

And lastly, the hardest workout plan I have come up with – running on the treadmill back wards. This is very effective to burn that fat but is rather difficult and risky.
So there you have it, the five treadmill workout plans. Guaranteed effective! Tweak it, adjust it and modify it to your needs and watch the fats burn away.
