Kenwood leisure club hotel Sheffield - Treadmill workout

Have you had too much to eat in the hotel restaurant - Why not use the Hotel leisure club gym to burn off some calories:

There are 2 treadmills in the gym which can be used  for a running or a walking workout. Besides doing a basic running or walking exercises, you can use the treadmill for interval workouts. During an interval exercise you will perform short, high intensity sprints that will increase your heart rate and oxygen consumption. Interval exercises are great alternative to traditional endurance exercises that produce the same metabolic effects but with a considerably smaller time commitment.

Start your workout with a five minute warm-up. Use grade one incline and a low jogging speed, between 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 mph.
Increase your running speed from low to a moderate during a three-minute interval. Increase your speed to 7 mph or according to your fitness. Do an increase every 15 seconds. Once you reach 7 mph, run for one minute with this speed.

You can keep increasing your speed every 15 seconds until you have reached your maximum speed.  Run for 1-2 minutes

Start to reduce your speed and drink some water when comfortable

You can repeat this exercise
