Workout 4: Cardio Option 2: Resistance Pyramid

This workout is best done on a cardio machine like an elliptical trainer, treadmill, stairclimber, or stationary bike. Each minute builds in intensity until you reach a peak about halfway through.

  • Start off fairly easily for 2 minutes, then increase the resistance (incline on a treadmill, or resistance on a bike or elliptical) by 1 level each minute, until you get to 12 minutes or until you are unable to keep up the effort.
  • Lower the resistance or incline by 1 level each minute until you get to 20 minutes.
