5 Calorie-Burning Treadmill Workouts
20-Minute Treadmill Workouts
Short on time? Here are two 20-minute treadmill workouts. The first focuses on running; you'll keep bumping up the treadmill's pace. The second is all about climbing with frequent changes in the treadmill's incline.
Both routines -- designed by Jeff Baird, director of fitness development at Blast900 in Atlanta -- include a range of speeds, depending on your fitness level.
