Trainer's tip
If you're using a treadmill, there's a lag of 5 to 10 seconds that it takes the belt to reach your target speed. So the sprint time starts when the belt actually hits your selected MPH, and the recovery starts once the belt returns to a walk speed.

You give calorie burn for many types of equipment, but I do not see what the calorie burn would be for these workouts on a Nordic Track. Please include.
