Burn Calories Cardio Workout

The burn calories cardio workout is a 27 minute treadmill workout that includes uphill walking and uphill running/sprints along with moderate paced walking/jogging intervals for recovery. You can burn over 500 calories if you can push yourself this hard.

Start with a 7 minute warm-up then go right into your walking intervals. Pay close attention to the incline and speed. It changes every couple of minutes. After 16 minutes of walking go into your 6 minutes of incline running intervals. Again pay attention to the incline and speed. It changes often.

Be sure to adjust it to your level. Work at 75-90% of your target heart rate. Don't push yourself so hard that you can't complete the workout. If you can't run at those inclines then walk until you build enough endurance to run or sprint.

After your running intervals cool down for 5 minutes then finish up with all the stretches. Try not to skip the stretches. The more cardio you do the more flexibility you need. It improves mobility and this will impact how fast and how long you can run in the future.
