Love this format. Time flies by.
Got 3 rounds in...30mins 2miles! 🔥🔥🔥

Sumaiya

Got four rounds in feeling refreshed! Love these cardio workouts please keep them coming!

Cady

Lacey

DEAD. I ran the last 1 minute of the last round of the incline and WOW. Any longer and I probably would've almost puked 😂

Rachel S.

Could you possibly post a running tutorial?! For proper form, etc. I’m not a trained runner so I just kind of run however I run lol. are you supposed to lean forward, stay centered, balls of feet, flat feet, kick your heels up… 

My knees, ankles and calves often hurt during and I wonder if it’s due to bad form 🤔 thanks ladies!

Rachel

I was overzealous and did 9.5 on the incline portion 😂. I wanted to decrease the incline during the second round, but I was already committed at that point lol. Killer sweat session! Following it up with an upper body workout 💪🏽

Cleo

Got through two rounds; that incline is something else haha! Can’t wait to come back to this and see how I improve! Thank you!!!

Another great workout! Can’t wait to see myself get faster with the incline runs

This workout is going to be a block workout.

While the times are going to be the same, the type of running will be different.

You can do this workout on a treadmill, bike, eliptigo, or any cardio machine you like.

This is your warmup. You can walk, you can jog, you can do a combo of both, and you can go at any pace, just get the heart working.

Warmup

You will do 

4 rounds which equals 30 minutes (or however long you have time for) of the following.

2.5 (or 150 sec) minutes of Easy to medium pace. Make this your comfy Sunday afternoon jog pace. This will also be your active recovery in later rounds. Can even walk this if you need.

2.5 minutes of medium to hard pace. I want you to focus on speed. Try and be fast and let your legs turn over. Stay relaxed in your upper body the more you try and work your turnover.

2.5 minutes of incline. * we don’t have a video just yet of this*. But slow your speed down to your easy pace, and maybe even slower. Set your incline at no less than 5% and jog or speed walk for 2.5 minutes. This sounds easy, but even at slow pace incline running walking can feel harder than sprinting. 

Repeat. See if you can go faster on the flat runs and higher on the inclines as rounds progress.

If you’re using a bike or eliptigo, instead of incline turn up the resistance.

150 seconds = 2.5 minutes 

This is your comfy pace. Run or walk at a speed that you would if you where to go out for a causal run with a friend.

As the rounds progress this will be your “recovery”. Learning how to control your breathing, your thoughts, and your muscles through a steady easy run.

This is called active recovery. During these 2.5 minutes your biggest goal is to focus on your breathing, calming your breathes down, and getting your mind ready for the next hard effort.

Easy to Medium Pace

The next 2.5 minutes (or 150 seconds) I want you to try and focus on speed.

Try and push yourself with a speed that feels uncomfortable. 

A good way of gauging how fast you should go is a speed where you could make it an additional 30 seconds, but probably not much longer after that.

Keep your chest tall, turn your knees over, and let it rip for the next 150 seconds

Medium to Hard Pace

WE DO NOT HAVE A VIDEO OF INCLINE JUST YET. 

When we do, we will update this ASAP.

As you finish your last 2.5 minutes you’ll drop the speed down probably close to your easy pace. And as the rounds go by, maybe even slower.

Because you will also be adding incline. Start at 5% incline and slowly jog. 

Your lungs may be tired from the speed work before, but now we’ll round out the body and toast the legs.

Incline running is hard! You don’t go as fast, but you feel it. Remember your recovery is coming up!

Incline Run

3.23.22 Workout

This is your cool down. You can walk, you can jog, you can do a combo of both, and you can go at any pace, let the heart rate come down and your body relax.

Cool Down

Running/Cardio 3.23.22

First run in a minute so didn’t run the past few minutes but still glad I got it done and love the ladders!

Emily Storm

Skipped the 5-minute runs and added abs. Great workout!!!

Molly

Was in a good groove and missed the rest portion on the way up 😬 definitely needed it on the way back down.

Katie

Running/Cardio 12.9.22

Alyssa

I was only able to do 5 rounds, but that was a lot! Did a lot of modifications in the cardio part since I had my toddler who wanted to join. So we tripled the time, ran on a little incline to run up the stairs 🤪

Keri

Took a week & a bit off, this was a great push to get back into the rhythm 🥁

Roxanne

Cardio/Strength 11.23.22

First run in a minute and besides some pain in my knee it felt great! Love how many options there are to choose from for cardio and the layouts!

A nice change up to keep cardio interesting on my sore days 😅

Such a good one! I skipped the rest and tacked on at the end to finish up a 3 mile day!

Courtney

Veronique

I love adding this core circuit into the 30 min workouts! It's the perfect way to finish with a burn! 🔥

10 Min Core 11.7.22

Brilliant workout I done a two mile run before I did this  💪

Katie Hughes

Erin

3 rounds! So good. Abs were on fire 🔥🔥

taylor

wesley

Loved it!! Quick and easy but my abs are on fire

Michaela

20 Minute Core 11.1.22

This is my go-to ab workout. Working my way to 3 sets! I can only do 1 right now. 🫣😊

Chelsi

I only did 1 round 😂 I will definitely work up to getting 3 rounds completed!

Alexandria

12 Min Core Circuit 10.13.22

Beatrice

Omitted the 8(30s) for time, so I pushed harder on paces than I would have - spicy & loved it! Great way to break up treadmill miles and work speed.

One of my favorites.  Those last 8 sprints really played with my mental ability to push past the hardest part.

Caroline

Running/Cardio Workout 9.30.22

Great little core workout after an hour on the treadmill! Gonna throw in a few more exercises and call it a day! 🙌🏻

Love it!! I think it would be helpful to have it narrated or the number of each exercise on the screen :)

Larissa

Easy to follow, quick and effective, and man did it burn! 😅

Leah

3 Min Core Circuit 9.27.22

Technically my off day from the Foundational Strength program, but I wanted to get moving and I had energy today! Plus a good running workout sounded amazing 🤮 loved it!

Challenging workout but I love the change of intensity. Some days I feel that I have endless amount of energy but today I wasn't feeling it and I'm glad I pushed through!

Jaime

Bailey

Running/ Cardio Workout 9.23.22

Just what my body needed. Got nice and sweaty & much needed movement.

Cardio done
2miles but this was tough...specially the 2min at medium pace (4.5mph) for me 🤣🤣

Running/Cardio 9.16.22

Lungs BURNING! I think my soul left my body ☠️ It was a mental fight at the end but feels so good!

Jenna

Thankful for your message halfway through.  That was very tough but made it through 🏃‍♀️

Running + lifting 8.15.22

Normally prefer to run for time > distance but this one hit the spot today! 👌

My hamstrings 🔥
Sprint into lifting, we love it!

The perfect combo of running and lifting, exactly what my head and heart needed today. Also challenging bc the first mile is always the hardest for me, so to only have 1 I really had to fight with myself. Good mental challenge!

Running lifting challenge 7.27.22

Maggie

I hate core work and I love this workout.

In 15 years of working out, I have never loved a core workout more than this one! Perfect intensity, duration and felt all the muscles.

15 Min Core 7.2.22

LOVE!! Time went so fast & distance added up quick!

I hate running but these intervals make it go by fast!

Cardio done! 
This was a little tough literally running 3mins 🙌🙌🙌

Running/Cardio 5.23.22

Went for time instead of distance. Increased speed on repeats. Was hard. Really hard. The temp&humidity definitely played a role. Ready for cooler temps to see what the legs can do. Summer running is frustrating when you can't hit paces you want but I know the work now will make for a faster fall.

Did for time and made it 4.15 miles 🙌🏼

Running/Cardio 5.12.22

On a cardio kick again 🙃 love that I can find a good variety of workouts to do! Quick & effective - nice and sweaty!!

Really enjoying playing with pacing on the sprints. Definitely noticing improvements already. Can't wait for the temps to drop and really REALLY push my all outs.

This was brutal for me.....never knew I could go at 6mph for 2mins 💪 felt so good! 
did all 4rounds...2.15m

Cardio/Running 4.27.22

Tough is an understatement. Big mental game with this one. My booty will be sore tomorrow from the inclines.

Took me just below an hour because I’m pretty new to running and I wanted to go for distance and wowwww that was a mental battle, but I loved it!

Kirsten

I only made it halfway in 40 minutes - guess I was running real slow 😂😂

Taylor

Running/Cardio 4.20.22

Had time for 6 rounds, can't imagine 8... would really have to play the mental game and push myself. Played with sprint pace a bit while on the treadmill, happy but know I can do more.

Trying to implement more cardio but this is making me question my decision 😂

Brenna

My husband and I took turns pushing our toddler in the stroller during the 2 minute run. He loved it! This was perfect.

Running/Cardio 4.13.22

Can I swear here? Is that allowed? Because  &!^#&!*;@;$, that was hard! 🥵😂☠️ BUT I think I've been severely underestimating my cardio fitness level. I set the treadmill at paces I thought would be a challenge, and some felt too comfortable. I worked my way up where appropriate but still felt I may have been able to take it up a notch - and that's with tight legs after yesterday's lift. Definitely want to revisit this when properly hydrated and after a good stretch to see what the legs can do.

Running/Cardio 4.6.22

30 minutes steady. Focused on heart rate. Got really hard around the 20 minute mark but pushed and finished.

This was mentally challenging
Longest 30mins ever!!!

Running/Cardio 3.30.22

Love that there is a good variety of cardio workouts!! The mental fight at the end is my favorite part of this one!

Humbled. My cardio fitness is not what it was at the beginning of the year - my all out was definitely faster previously. Using this as a base to build on & come back to after some work. Was a good gage to set realistic goals moving fwd into the new year. I know what I'm capable of, going to get back to it!!

Cut back week for 1/2 training. This was a great way to mix up the 3 miles I had  today. Felt good, realized my easy pace may be a little too easy.

Running/Cardio 3.9.22

Carina

This pattern really took the monotony out of the workout and kept me in tune with my body’s effort. Thank you 😊

Averee

Marie

Running/Cardio 3.2.22

Great quick core routine after a workout.

Melisa

I really like this! I did 3 rounds for a little ab workout. The follow along is great because I don’t have to stop a lot.

Jessi

Verbal guidance and queues when switching would be helpful!

Krista Keil

LIVE 5 min abs/core 2022

Did 5 KBS in between each and I want to die a little.

Love this one! so much mind muscle connection for me!

Brittney Howell

This was great. Very clear demonstrations and descriptions. Thank you!

It’s not so much an improvement on this one - it’s just a hard one for beginners

Olivia

20 Min Obliques and TVA 2021

5 Min Abs, obliques & core 2020

9 Min Core Circuit 2020

Love this one for really trying to focus of improving my core/pelvic floor

Ashley

I love this one, I need to work on my form though, still haven't got it quite right

This is hard to do mentally, I think I need to slow down because my breathing went out the window and it was just belly breathing/chest breathing. 
Do you squeeze both knees together?

6 Min Inner Core + Hip Work 2020

My abs are on fire!!! Loved doing this as a finisher

Holy moly. I forgot how much that burned!

5 Min Ab Burnout 2020

10/10 I’m two year post partum and have been trying to find something that I can FEEL engaging my core correctly and THIS IS PERFECT 💕
