Target Your Glutes

To sculpt your glutes and burn a fast 150 calories, try this cardio hill-walking workout from Diana Maitland, personal training manager at Equinox Fitness Clubs in New York City. Do this workout three or four times a week to build strength and endurance.

Minutes	Speed (mph)	Incline (%)	RPE*
0:00-5:00	4	3-3.5	5
5:00-7:00	4	8-10	7
7:00-8:00	4	4-6	6
8:00-10:00	4	10	8
10:00-11:00	4	5-7	7
11:00-13:00	4	12	9
13:00-14:00	4	10	8
14:00-15:00	4	12	9
15:00-20:00	4	2-4	5

Tip: Beginners should start with a speed of 3.5 mph; advanced exercisers can go up to 5.

*RPE, rate of perceived exertion, is a measure of your exercise intensity based on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most effort. Adjust speed and incline to reach desired RPE above.

Now, a super-effective (super-fast) workout to blast ab fat!

I'd say you should not hold onto the handle bars - use your own power to keep you up and going. Lower the speed if you need to
