Not Your Average Treadmill Workout - Calisthenics amp up the fun & calorie burn

Step 1 – LUNGE

Set your treadmill at the highest level (or a level with which you are comfortable). I set my pace to 2 MPH and performed 15 walking lunges while holding on to the sides for balance. The less you use your arms to help stand up, the more advanced you make it. Take long steps and get deep into the lunge. To make the movement easier, grab on to the top of the treadmill for support and don’t descend as deep into the lunges. Perform 15 lunges each leg.

Step 2 – FORWARD SHUFFLE

Next, up the speed to around 4-6 MPH. Starting with your right leg forward and keeping your hips pointing forward, shuffle step 15 times. Then repeat leading with the left leg. If you need more support for balance, grab on to the sides.

Step 3 – HIGH KNEE RUNS

Keeping the same speed, begin an exaggerated jog where you pull your knees up as high as you can. You will really feel this in your glutes, abs and calves. Make sure to squeeze your corePerform 15 high knees for each leg for a total of 30.

Step 4 – QUICK SQUAT

Finally, slower the speed to the pace lunge pace. Then, carefully step on to the sides of the treadmill and perform 15 quick bodyweight squats.

Repeat these steps for as many rounds as you can in 20 min! It’ll shock you body, and give you a good sweat in a short amount of time! Good luck!
