Replace Treadmill With This 10 Min HIIT/CARDIO Workout
Hey there, Thenx Family! How’s it hanging, athletes? Chris Heria here, and welcome to another epic Thenx video. Got a treadmill collecting dust? Well, today, we’re flipping the script with a 10-minute workout that’s going to make that treadmill look like a snail in a marathon.
(Cue dramatic music.)Now, treadmills have their charm, but are they really the calorie-burning champs we believe them to be? Let’s discuss that. On a treadmill, strolling at a leisurely pace of 2 to 3 mph for 10 minutes, you’ll burn about 35 to 40 calories. But hold the phone!
Dive into high-intensity interval training, and you’re looking at torching 150 calories or more in the same time. Boom!Why HIIT the Treadmill? HIIT isn’t just about burning calories. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of workouts.
You’re not just trimming the fat but also sculpting muscle, boosting your overall game, and enjoying that sweet afterburn where calories keep melting away even when you’re binge-watching your favorite series later. How’s that for a win-win? Plus, you can do HIIT anywhere. Living room, backyard, you name it.Ready to get this party started?
Make sure you’ve snagged the Thenx app from your app store. Hit the YouTube workout zone, and let’s get this show on the road.The Routine: Ready, Set, Sweat! Just like hopping on a treadmill, we ease in with a light warm-up, then ride the wave through peaks and valleys of intensity. Each move is 45 seconds of pure grit, with a 15-second breather in between.
Simple math, right? Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro, it’s your intensity that sets the challenge. Take things at your own pace. It’s less about counting reps and more about perfecting them. If you feel like a noodle midway, just slow it down.
Save your breath for those precious 15-second breaks.Let’s Get Moving! First up, high knee runs. Knees to elbows, folks. 45 seconds on the clock.
Ready, set, go! (Upbeat music.) And…
cool down. Hit the deck for mountain climbers. Push-up position, alternate knees to chest. Feeling the burn? You betcha.
(Upbeat music.)Back on your feet for burpees no jumping required. If push-ups have you stumped, skip ’em. Just focus on the rhythm. Remember, every rep should look as fresh as the first.
(Upbeat music.)Now, high side plank raises. 22 seconds per side. Core tight, and don’t slack on that grip. (Upbeat music.
Next, Russian twists. Seated, feet up, legs out. If straight legs are a no-go, bend ’em. Halfway through this dance, hang in there! (Upbeat music.
Now, switching lunges. It’s plyo time! Can’t jump? Walk it out. Hands up, core tight.
(Upbeat music.) Catch your breath. Push-up side to side. Not ready for full push-ups? Use an elevated surface.
10 seconds left, you got this! (Upbeat music.)Already dripping? Good, because we aren’t done yet. Jumping jacks are up next.
(Upbeat music.) Two more moves and we’re out of here.Final Stretch! In and outs in a push-up position. Jump in, jump out.
Just getting started? Small jumps are A-OK. Squeeze everything core, arms, floor. (Upbeat music.) Last but not least, side-to-side jump squats.
Can’t jump? Side hop instead. (Upbeat music.) And..
scene. You’re officially a sweat machine!In just 10 minutes, you’ve torched more calories than on a treadmill and built muscle to boot. That afterburn effect? It’s working overtime, keeping you on track for those fitness goals.
