A Killer 10-Minute Treadmill Routine

If you're anything like me, you're not a fan of the treadmill or sitting on a stationary bike to burn off calories. That type of cardio bores me to no end. I'm a big believer in quick and effective workouts. Getting into the gym and out and making the most of it is key, especially when time is limited. Here's a workout routine that takes only 10 minutes. You will have elevated your heart rate to sweat-drenched levels, worked your entire upper body, sculpted your biceps, triceps, shoulders and upper back and burned a decent amount of calories during the workout. Even better, because you combined strength training with cardio, you will experience an afterburn effect for hours after you stepped off the treadmill - your muscles are repairing and rebuilding.

Next time you're short on time, give this one a go. All you need is a treadmill and a set of dumbbells, heavy enough to make you tired by the 12th rep. I suggest you try 8-10 lb dumbbells and see how you do.
