Disclaimer
See your physician before starting any exercise or nutrition program. Prior to starting, you should
discuss all nutritional changes with your physician or a registered dietician. If you are taking any
medications, you must talk to your physician before starting any exercise program. If you
experience any lightheadedness, dizziness, or shortness of breath while exercising, stop and
consult a physician.
These recommendations are not medical guidelines. This book is for educational purposes only.
You must consult your physician prior to starting this program or if you have any medical
condition or injury that contraindicates physical activity. This program is designed for healthy
individuals 18 years and older only.
All forms of exercise pose some inherent risks. It is advisable that readers to take full
responsibility for their safety and know their limits. The exercises and dietary programs in this
book are not intended as a substitute for any exercise routine or treatment or dietary regimen that
may have been prescribed by your physician.
Dont perform any exercise unless you have been shown the proper technique by a certified
personal trainer. Dont perform any exercise without proper instruction. Always do a warm-up
prior to your workout session and end with a stretching cool down segment.
Safety First
You will only get positive results from this program if you are performing the exercises correctly.
Here are a few tips for you to maximize your results:
1. Check with your doctor before starting any new exercise or diet program.
2. It may be necessary to consult a trainer if you are unsure of how to do any of the
exercises.
Do NOT do exercises that you dont understand how to do.
3. If something hurts do not do it. You must understand the difference between muscle
fatigue and injury. Always error on the side of caution if you feel pain.
4. This program has the potential to be used with those new to fitness as well as those that
are very fit. Start off conservatively and increase intensity as you go.
5. We can do it all; however, we may need an extra day of rest between workouts so feel
free to take a day of active rest between workouts if you arent up to the workout. Active
rest is an activity that is low intensity calorie burning in nature such as walking.
6. Use proper exercise form and train conservatively in all workouts.
7. Always start with the easier alternative exercises if appropriate, even if you have
exercised in the past. The new exercises, and new style of movements will cause muscle
soreness even from workouts you think "look easy".
8. Do NOT do interval training more than 4 times per week.
9. Do NOT the skip a warm-up, as well, take a few minutes to cool the body down.
10. If you have an injury, get medical attention to rehabilitate your injury before starting an
exercise program.

Welcome to Treadmill Fat Loss!
I Was Wrong
Ive been bashing the treadmill for years and its not making a differenceevery
day I go to a commercial gym I see a sea of treadmills. And they arent collecting
dust. Rumor has it that big box gyms are actually planning a BIGGER cardio floor
and less space will be devoted to other types of fitness equipment (like free
weights and machines). Every hotel gym has a treadmill. The number one
piece of equipment that the average person buys is a treadmill.
If I cant beat the treadmill craze, why not join it?
After all, if so many have access to a treadmill, why not provide an effective fat
burning, muscle-toning workout for it?
In fact, I don't really have an issue with a treadmill at all. The issue I have with it
is that most folks get on it and read a magazine. Steady state cardio (hopping
on the treadmill and walking or light jogging and barely breaking a sweat for 30+
minutes) is the death of fat loss and the cause of workout boredom.
Treadmill Fat Loss is different. You will NOT be reading a magazine or watching
reruns of Friends on it. Youll be sweating and gasping and groaning. Sound
fun?
Intensity What is RPE?

Every treadmill is a little different and in an effort to accommodate both the
beginner and the advanced Ive decided NOT to use MPH as a tool to quantify
intensity.
Instead, youll be called upon to use a scale called rate of perceived exertion.
So for each workout, instead of including written in stone speeds, Ill add a
RPE (or rate of perceived exertion) rating.
RPE is a psycho-physiological scale, meaning it calls on the mind and body to

rate your perception of effort.
The RPE scale measures feelings of effort, strain, discomfort, and/or fatigue
experienced during training. Your perception of physical exertion is a subjective
assessment.
How is perceived exertion measured?
The level of perceived exertion is often measured with a 15 category scale

that was developed by the Swedish psychologist Gunnar Borg. To simplify
matters, Ive chosen to do a scale of 1-10 based on the original Borg Scale.
See below:
1 - No exertion at all
2 - Extremely light exertion
3 - Very light exertion
4 - Light exertion
5
6 - Somewhat hard exertion
7
8 - Hard (heavy) exertion
9 - Extremely hard exertion
10 - Maximal exertion
To use this scale effectively, you must understand these things:
1) It should be clear that perceived exertion is a method to determine the

intensity of effort, strain, and/or discomfort thats felt during exercise;
2) When rating your perception of exertion theres no right or wrong

answer for the rating.
3) Dont compare your performance with others So for example, if the

beginner exerciser does a 5 mph run and this is their highest intensity,
then they would give themselves a 9 or 10 on the RPE scale even
though 5 mph may only be a 4 on the RPE scale for the advanced
exerciser. The rating is very personal by taking into account YOUR
personal fitness level.
Safety!
Youll be getting on and off the treadmill regularly during every workout. Use the
handrails to steady yourself and hop onto the frame while holding on. From there,
if you need to get off the treadmill for an exercise set, step off from the frame.
When returning to the treadmill for a running set, start by getting on the frame
and then stepping back onto the deck.
You can keep the treadmill going so that when your working set off the treadmill
is done, youll be able to get back on without having to adjust the speed.
In the beginning especially, err on the side of safety with a slower deck speed
until you feel coordinated enough to get back on the deck at a quick pace.
How to Use This Program

Im all about variety with training. Thats why youll find 21 different workouts in
this plan. If you chose to use three different workouts a week, this program would
last you 7 weeks.
But I actually like to train MORE than three times a week, even though you can
get results in as little as 60 minutes a week (3 x 20 minute workouts). My
suggestion is to use these options:
At the minimum, choose three days a week to train

Train two days on, one day off
Train every second day
Use these workouts interspersed with any of my Challenge Workouts
series
Most importantly: LISTEN to YOUR body! Theres NO one size fits all or
one right answer as to how often you should train. It depends on where
you are in your fitness journey. Training every day will be too much for
some and just right for others. To be honest, I train almost every day (or
do something active) and take a day of rest when my body tells me I need
one. The beauty with all the Challenge Workouts is that they are SHORT.
They will NOT elicit a fat storing hormonal response, theyll boost your
metabolism for increased fat burning and theyll increase your fitness
level.
So, decide whats right for you. Cycle through the Treadmill Fat Loss workouts.
They can be done in ANY order because YOU are in charge of the intensity.
Timing
Most treadmills have a built in timer, but it gets tricky timing your sets using the
timer on the treadmill. I suggest getting a timer, my favorite is the Gymboss timer
because its hands free - I can clip it to my t-shirt and it will either vibrate or beep
(or both).
A Word About Warming Up

It goes without saying that you need to be fully warmed up before any workout.
While most folks will head directly to the treadmill, Id like you to take 2 minutes
to do a FULL BODY warm up BEFORE hitting the treadmill, then get onto the
treadmill for another 2-3 minutes warm up
Go through this superset using a slow tempo for each exercise. Do not rest.
Leg Swings 10 reps per side
Arm swings 10 rotations forward/10 rotations backward
20 Calf raises on the back of the treadmill
Reverse Lunge 5 reps per side
Spiderman Climb 5 reps per side
Close-Grip Pushups 10 reps
Then jump onto the treadmill for 2 minutes easy walk/jog at RPE level 3.
Cool Your Jets

After your workout, youll want to slow things down, hop back onto the treadmill
for 2 minutes easy walk/jog at RPE level 3.
Also add some gentle stretches after this. Make sure to stretch your calves out in
particular. Stand on a stair and let your heels drop. Do NOT bounce. Let gravity
do the work on the calf stretches or any passive stretch for that matter.
