Here’s a good article on another treadmill workout technique: http://www.treadmill-world.com/high-intensity-interval-training-with-a-treadmill/
Oh.My.God. This is crazy; I made it through the warmup…
NO i cant see it :(
My treadmill doesn’t have an incline – can I still do this workout but without the incline? Will it still help me to lose weight? Also at the end it says for the warm down go from 3.5 speed to finish off on 6.5 speed – is that right? wouldn’t you end on the 3.5? sorry for all the questions, Thanks :) x
I felt tired out after the first 10 minutes because it was so steep (I had no idea treadmills could even go up that high ahaha)!!! Oh well. 27 minutes today, maybe 35 minutes tomorrow, and then I’ll be able to do the full workout! With breaks of course. Will need a lot of motivation and practice to try the whole thing without stepping off once in a while :) GREAT!!!
Goodness gracious! I did 38 minutes of Cassie’s workouts yesterday, and I am SORE! it feels AMAZING to be SORE! I haven’t touched the treadmill in about three days and I miss it, so I will go back on today! I will totally try so hard to not take any breaks, but with only working out daily since early december, I don’t know if I am ready! I will try though! if you want to see if I made it through the workout without taking a breather, check out my blog: http://www.glitterartfit.blogspot.com :)

can someone ANSWER THIS? HOW SHOULD I DO THESE WORKKOUTS?? OR EVEN WARM UP YPUR LEGS??
OMG IM DOING THIS
First, thanks for clarifying the “step offs’. I thought that is what they were but good to know for sure.
I am anxious to start this however, for me, it is very hard to run thanks to bad knees and doctor’s orders for another reason. Bunny is certainly inspirational!! :) I am working my way up to doing so by modifying. With that being said, when I am on the treadmill, I crank that incline up. I am taking baby steps towards getting my speed up and doing that ssssoooo I am really looking forward to trying this workout.
Note to self….do NOT do two POPster Ab workouts 2 days in a row…OUCH!! LOL
Wowsers!
awesome!! will have too try this out! :)
Can you create a similar workout using an elliptical instead? That would be uber helpful!
oh you can easily adjust this to the elliptical or a bike: just think resistance instead of incline and instead of the hopping off, you just do slower strides :)
of course the numbers of the incline and the resistance probably won’t be exactly the same, i.e. an incline of 7 might correspond to a resistance of 10 or so, idk, but i wouldn’t worry too much about that, just work hard and you’re good! :)
i did such adjusting w/ the shuffle-a-truffle workout as well as w/ the shredmill workout already and both of them worked very well! i used them on the stationary bike but i’m sure they’d work on an elliptical, too.
even my HRM said i burned about the same amount of cals so it wasn’t just my feeling :)
i love this i run alot i have lost a lot in the last few months with ur workouts and running started out at 168 now im 145 i feel alot better love the food but i cant have glutin i have a allergy to it .i have had operation on 8 disc in my back the more waight i loose the less pain im feeling alot better i share ur workout wih every one i have told strangers about u lol ur doing a graet job making people feel they can do better with there health ty .your a blessing
Always wanted this! Thanks a Bunch Cassey! cute Necklace ^__^
How does one “step off” the treadmill? And are you to stay “down” for a full minute? I’m a little confused, thanks in advance for the help! And thank YOU Cassey for the motivation and printouts!
no no :) you don’t hop off completely, you just jump your feet out onto the sides of the treadmill so that the belt then moves underneath you. cf 2:46 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v64cW4mZokc :)
be careful w/ the transitions though: hold on to the handbars to the sides of the treadmill when jumping off (to protect your joints from stopping abruptly) and esp. when jumping back on it (to give your legs some time to adjust to the speed). cf 3:02 in the vid above :)
Round about how many calories would be burnt doing the treadmill routine? :) thank you soo much
hi rachel
the cals burned will depend on your height,weight,age,gender,level of fitness…so if you want something reasonably accurate, you must get a HRM!! :)
i got one about 2 weeks ago and i LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! i got the polar ft4, which is quite a basic HRM, but it’s perfectly fine if you don’t want anything too fancy (and it’s very inexpensive, too!). :)
Narcissa, don’t literally jump off the treadmill. Just put your feet on the edges of the treadmill. Then when the minute is over just step back onto the treadmill. Don’t ever touch the speed. Just let it keep running. And then you’ll keep running ;) I like this one because its hard for me to run for long periods of time. Stopping every minute is still challenging but at least I won’t look stupid slowing down the treadmill every couple minutes lol. Thanks Cassey!
I did this workout today and almost died!! I ended up changing the speeds a little but kept the inclines. I will keep working on it! Followed it up with some legs and some more cardio (bike, step climber and elliptical). Have you ever considered making this workout into a podcast? I would love to hear your encouragement while I’m dying!!
i’ve never went to the gym ..so i don’t ever use treadmills.. but still i appreciate the time you take out of your day to go the extra mile for your fans. hah, i even appreciate the extra “mile” you make us push on your videos ! : ) #POPsterPresents
Thank you Cassey!!! :D Just subscribed to your mailing list and am gonna go check out the JANEWARY calendar :) Awesomeeeee!
Your excercises are body and mind transformation!! Love them…!! :D:D
Try putting the workouts in terms of BPM similar to http://thealumnirow.blogspot.com/2012/12/true-life-i-hate-running.html
So I’ve only ever done HIIT on my elliptical/outside, but isn’t it sorta scary to just jump off of the treadmill when it’s going at 10mph?
How do you guys do it when the band is moving that fast? Any tips? Or is it really not as bad as it seems? Couldn’t you get hurt doing that? As it is, I’ve fallen off my treadmill a few times when I go on it really fast. :-P
I can’t wait to try this later! i love the sweat sexy workouts and i have the kinect for xbox so ill do this for a warm up, then ill do the kinect warm ups, then I’ll do my actual routine! I’ve been doing the thigh gap pilates…has anyone else noticed a difference? i feel amazing! <3
you’ve got to try this workout, it’s crazy ridic!! (or totes amaze? lol)
I did it today but subbed hill jogs/”sprints” for the flat-surface sprints (i wanted to go easy on my knees), so I lowered the speed to 7-8.5km/h but set the inc at 15 instead of 1.
wowwwwww that heart rate was at around 90% of my max heart rate all the time.
i was wearing the today-i-will-kill-it top, which really kinda held me accountable when I thought I couldn’t go on anymore (can’t give up when you’re sporting such a mantra, right?), but i must say i think i was a draw: i definitely killed it, but the workout most definitely killed ME, too!!! hahhaha :)
bottom line: <3 <3 <3 !
Can’t wait to try this! Thanks or all your videos :)
