Five Thighs

Low intensity cardio can be really boring, as it should be - that’s how you know you’re not working passed your fat burn threshold (aka ventilatory threshold 1). That doesn’t mean you can’t make it more interesting, so this workout is designed to keep you at the edge of that fat burn zone while switching the stimulus every 5 minutes to keep you engaged.

Keys:

• Incline speed should obviously be slower than flat speed

• Overall intensity should be at a conversational pace - you should be able to say short sentences without a problem. Another way of looking at it is an intensity of about 5-6 out of 10.

• Each segment after the first 2 has either an increase in speed or an increase in incline that’s subtle. It’s also not mandatory, as if it makes you cross that conversational threshold you should go back down.

• This can actually be done daily if you see fit, one of the benefits of low intensity is were essentially built to do it all the time (your hips might get tight though)
