If fast cardio doesnโ€™t work for you, I challenge you to try the 30-1-30 treadmill workout.

30 incline โ†—๏ธ 1 mph ๐ŸŒ 30 minutes โฑ๏ธ Seriously gets my heart rate so high, and in comparison to running (which feels like torture to me) this slow cardio hiking situation feels more enjoyable for my body! I spent yearsssss trying to like HIIT, trying to like running, but honestly, it always felt like I had to try SO hard. I also never really felt like I got better at it. Ever since Iโ€™ve been testing out slow cardio like the 12-3-30, Iโ€™ve noticed my body is just simply liking it more. Iโ€™m better at it. Itโ€™s weird because my heart rate gets high (higher than when Iโ€™m running) and yet my muscles arenโ€™t dying. Mentally and emotionally, Iโ€™m not dying either! To be completely honest, itโ€™s the first cardio I think Iโ€™m actually good at and getting better at, which is so exciting! It all kinda goes back to what your body is better suited for. I have the endurance to push through slow hard things (thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m good at Pilates) but I know Iโ€™m bad
