Torch Calories With These Express Workouts

And get this: A recent study found that women boosted their fat burn in an hour of cycling by nearly 40% after just two weeks of interval training. Plus, new guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine say three weekly 20-minute bouts of vigorous exercise (like intervals) provide all the cardio you need to keep your heart healthy.

    These treadmill plans keep me motivated when I go to the gym early in the morning and don’t want to think about what to do ! It’s like having a personal trainer bark in my ear “ok. now..faster !!”
    Good work !!
