Need workout suggestion: treadmill and weights

Amy_B

I didn't get up early to exercise like I wanted, so I plan on working out while watching The Biggest Loser tonight. I will use the treadmill and my weights/bands/etc. Does anyone have any workouts where you use the tready for a while (I'll be walking, but that doesn't matter), then step off to do some strength moves, then go back to the tready? What I really need are ideas for when I step off to do the strength...specific ideas. Thanks!

sounds like you just gave yourself a good idea.

try walking to get your HR up then get off lift a few quick sets (to keep your HR up) and then hit the treadmill again. Try keeping your HR up for the entire hour of loser. That would be one heck of a workout.

I just am not sure what weights I should do when I"m off the tready. All of my weight training is following along with videos, so I need ideas on what to do on my own. I am trying not to do too much with legs since I will be running 4.5 miles tomorrow...gotta save the legs!

Walk on the treadmill with 5 lbs weights. Do shoulder press, cross over punches, arm curls, lean slightly to the left and the right to work those obliques. Keep your abs tight while doing these you are really getting a full workout.

Not sure what weights you have to work with.

I'd definately just do a warmup, then weight train, then finish on the treadmill, instead of jumping back and forth between them.
Warmup for 10. Lift for 20. Then walk for 30.

If you have enough db weight I'd agree with some of the above. Db curls. Shoulder press. DB lateral raises. Front raises. planks. Some type of lying press to work your tris/chest. All of those are good stuff to start with.

You could do body-weight exercises, which are also strength training. Think push ups, burpees, jump squats, squat kicks, etc.

walk on the tready using 3 lb weights but do incline intervals. walk 5 min flat, then incline to 2 for 5 mts with weights,, then incline 3 for mts with weights and so forth. it will get your heartbeat up. I do this for at least an hour and incline all the way to 6 and then start over. you will feel it on your arms and your waist and legs by tomorrow.
