Treadmill Workout – 5k with Hills
Treadmill Workout 5k (3.1 Miles with Hills). Treadmills sometimes get a bad name. I think they are a great asset and have a lot of benefits. Sometimes all it takes is tricking your mind a little with changes in pace and incline to make the time no miles pass by. Below is a treadmill workout that will finish with a 5k (3.1miles) you will also get in one mile of hills (running on an incline). Changing things up every half mile is a great way to keep the heart rate up and get in a great workout on the treadmill! More Workouts HERE Pinterest Board HERE

We had about three different sicknesses going through our house leading up to the raze.
