HIIT Workout - Treadmill Sprints (Tabata)

Total Time - 23 min (including warm-up)

Workout Synopsis:

This is a High Intensity Workout that will spike your heart rate and challenge your muscle endurance and cardio. This will get difficult quickly, but at a level you can complete all 8 rounds.

High Intensity Interval Training - HIIT Training is a great way to challenge yourself mentally and physically. The main benefits are accelerated Fat Loss and Cardiovascular Health improvements.

Hard Intensity Interval - This is high intensity but not an all out sprint. This should be a fast jog that you could maintain for about 1 minute, this is about a 400m pace. This can be done on an incline for a slower pace but equal intensity.

REST - In this workout there is a short rest and a long rest. The short rest (10 seconds) is enough to breath and shake your legs but that is about it. The longer rest (3 minutes) will be enough to get your heart rate lower to a walking level.
