This program is a very effective fat burning workout to be performed on the treadmill, outside walking/running, or any type of cardiovascular equipment that allows a change of elevation and resistance.  The goal with this program is increase the intensity every week in small increments!  Remember the key to major change is pushing the envelope of intensity!  Step outside the box and be real honest with yourself.  Are you really pushing to your fullest potential?  This program should be performed 2x week to see the benefits!  Have fun and be safe:)  Really take advantage of this program when the weather turns bad!!

The whole program should take at least 20minutes:  Adjust the speeds but really stay with inclines.  Try to really pump your arm without holding on to the railings.  Take big strides to maximize hamstring and glute stimulation.  Stretch ankles, calfs, hamstrings and lower back prior to starting this program!  Always remember consult your physician first when starting a fitness program!
