How to Double the Effectiveness of a Treadmill Workout

Your Treadmill workout will only be as effective as you make it. If you keep your run slow and stately, you'll see limited progress. Those who never push themselves on the treadmill will burn fat very slowly, and they'll never really get the results they want. Here are a few simple tips to help you max out the effectiveness of your treadmill workout:

Do sprint training -- Sprint training is simple: 30 seconds of full-speed sprinting, followed by 60 to 90 seconds of low-speed jogging. It's more than just an epic cardio workout, but it also helps to build lower body muscle. Throw in at least one day of sprint training per week to max out your workouts! With just 20 minutes, you'll burn more calories than you would with 45 minutes of jogging.

Adjust the speed and incline -- There are days when a slow, serene jog works, but on other days, you have to throw in some hill work or fast-paced running. The faster or steeper your run, the more you'll push your body to its limits. Most treadmills come with pre-set programs you can use to increase the intensity of your run.

Run with weights -- This is not recommended for extended periods, but it can be good for short-term training. Hold a pair of light dumbbells in your hands for 2 to 3 minutes as you run, and you'll give your biceps and forearms a great workout. Wear ankle weights, and you'll push your legs hard. The added weight increases the intensity of your workout!
