HIIT Treadmill- 1 hour

I used to be the queen of some cardio. I would run for an hour at a steady pace on the treadmill all the time. Once I realized my body got used to my typical steady state cardio and I was never seeing any results, I decided it was time to change things up. There is something to be said for shocking your body, as it is the whole purpose to varying your workouts. You always want to leave your body guessing to help overcome a plateau (Im still trying to grasp this concept as I love my routine workouts).

Other than knowing today was my cardio day, I had no plans for my workout as I was walking into the gym. I hopped on the treadmill for a little warm up jog and to my surprise it turned into an hour long hiit cardio sesh. It was an amazing workout and I felt so great after! The time literally flew by to the extent that I didn't even realize I had been on the treadmill for an hour.
