Chic Run: The Treadmill Body

by The Daily Front Row

With the New York Marathon rolling up this weekend, what better time to share this vid of Equinox running coach (and total dreamboat) David Siik showing some different ways to use that treadmill and burn off that candy corn? You can’t stay sample size just by standing around looking pretty, darlings. 

Siik’s 30-Minute Interval Workout:
3 minutes warm-up

Segment 1: Creating Best Incline
30 seconds at your starting ‘fast’ speed (e.g. 6.0, 8.0, or 10.0) @ 1% incline
1 minute recovery @ 0% incline
Repeat sequence @ 2%, 3%, 4%, then 5% incline
2 minutes complete recovery

Segment 2: Creating Best Speed
30 seconds starting fast speed plus 0.2 (e.g. 8.2) @ 0% incline
1 minute recovery @ 0% incline
Repeat sequence @ starting fast speed plus 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0
2 minutes complete recovery

Segment 3: Combining Speed and Incline
30 seconds new fast speed (e.g. 9.0) @ 1% incline
1 minute recovery @ 0% incline
Repeat sequence at 2%, 3%, 4%, then 5% incline
2-3 minutes cool-down
