If you're pressed for time, here's a workout to try on your treadmill. This one is called the "No Excuses" routine because it delivers maximum results for the time invested. When you get comfortable with this 15 minute routine, and you have time... Repeat it!
The "perceived exertion rate" in these workouts is based on a scale of 0-10 and used to measure the intensity of the exercise. For example, 0 (nothing at all) is how you feel at rest, 10 (very, very heavy) is how you feel after extremely strenuous exercise.
