Happy Tuesday!

I’ll make this short and sweet, like my 15 minute workout for fat loss that I did today.

In fact, I just finished it about 5 minutes ago. : )

I like to perform short, intense workouts most of the time. It keeps me focused on the task at hand and gives me more free time for other things.

My normal interval training routine was getting a little stale recently. Not difficult enough, and frankly, I was getting bored with it.

So what did I do? I changed it up.

So I went to my gym in my apartment and…..hold on, hold on. You went inside a gym, Scott? I thought you did nothing but outdoor workouts.

Well normally I do, but there are just sometimes where I like to control the speed of my sprints and so I use a treadmill.

And today, I actually needed hills. And Dallas ain’t got no hills. Perhaps a reason we’re one of the fattest cities in America?

Anyway, back to my workout. The main thing that I changed in my interval training was to add hills to my sprints. Or in my case, an incline to the treadmill.

If you read The Truth About Six-Pack Abs, they talk a lot about interval training, wind sprints and hill sprints as one of the best things you can do to get a flat stomach and six-pack abs.

Since I added an incline to the treadmill, I backed off the speed from 11 mph to 9 mph.

So my workout was the following:

Warm up with a brisk walk or slow jog on the treadmill
Run at 9 mph and 5% incline for one minute
Walk at 3.5 mph and 2% incline for 90 seconds
Repeat for 5 rounds
Brief cool down

And there’s your 15 minute workout for fat loss. I worked up a good sweat and now I’m headed for a shower.

So, are you ready to try this? I would love to hear your experience. Or maybe you have your own 15 minute workout. Please add your comments and share with everyone. And while you’re at it, maybe you can suggest a place for me to move that has hills. : )

Have an amazing day.
