First things first…
30 Minute Treadmill Workout
Ryan and I hit the gym together this morning for a quick workout. Since I’m really hoping to take advantage of the BodyPump class offered at my parents’ gym while I am in Jacksonville tomorrow, I focused today’s workout on cardio.
After 10 minutes on the elliptical, I took my workout to the treadmill where I completed the following 30 minute countdown treadmill workout:
This workout incorporates 10 minutes of fast walking with bursts of fast running. It kept me interested the whole time and when I hopped off the treadmill after a brief cool down, my face was dripping sweat. I’ll take it!
Breakfast
As Ryan and I drove home from the gym, I started brainstorming breakfast ideas and couldn’t decide whether I wanted something sweet or savory. My indecision resulted in this random combination…
A cup of key lime pie Greek yogurt inhaled before picture time. (This Fage flavor is so, so good!)
And a piece of Ezekiel toast topped with 1/2 of a smashed avocado with salt and pepper.
Plus coffee!
Now I’m off to work and teach before it’s time to hit the road for Jacksonville for WEDDING fun!!!

Laura M. says
I just did your total body workout yesterday and absolutely loved it!
Julie says
So happy to hear this!
Marianne says
Can you elaborate on the cooldown? If it is such an important part of a work out, it should be given at least an explanation.
Hayley@healthyregardshayley says
LOL so I am not the only one who starts thinking about what they are going to eat on drives home after workouts? And then its like chaos in the kitchen?
Kim says
Drive home? I think about breakfast WHILE working out….
Kim says
Seriously so happy for Leslie and Ross! As a long time reader, I always found myself reading your posts and thinking, “When are those two going to get engaged?!” Have a BLAST with family time and wedding fun this week/weekend!
Holly @ EatGreatBEGreat says
I love the idea of an interval treadmill workout. This way I wouldn’t get bored as easily!
Samantha @ Anatomy of My World says
Interval runs are my favorite. Pretty much any time I’m on a treadmill I’ll add in some type of interval sprint because I get so bored just trying to run 3-4 miles. Have a great time preparing for the wedding! Can’t wait to read all about it 🙂
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
I love HIIT Type treadmill workouts – they always leave you feel tired and sweaty! The perfect way to end a workout!
So excited for your sister! Have a save trip later.
Jamie @ Sometimes Healthy Living Blog says
I’ve never tried avocado on toast, but I’ve seen it a lot lately – must try, along with Ezekial bread! Also, I’m looking for some new treadmill workouts since it’s so cold here these days. This is perfect 🙂
Livi says
Avocado toast is THE best!! so good!

I’ve been eating an average of one whole avocado per day for the past month. They’re just so creamy and delicious.

I live in Jacksonville and I wanted to know if you have ever tried the restaurant Pulp before? It’s a smoothie/juice/coffee place and I’ve heard great things about it. It seems right up your alley, so I thought I would share!

I actually found your blog last year when I googled “treadmill workouts”! I’ve loved all of the other ones and am so excited that you posted a new one. I get so bored when I run a straight three miles, but these make the workout fun and go super quickly!

What does Ezekiel bread taste like? I’ve wanted to try it, but wondering about the taste? THANKS 🙂

Rachel @ Fairietale Designs says
Great treadmill workout! I’ve been getting bored lately and this will definitely mix things up.
I’m glad I’m not the only one putting mashed avocado (in my case, usually homemade guacamole) on toast. I discovered it by accident and now can’t get enough. 🙂
Brittney @ Sweets 'N' Greens says
I love your treadmill workouts! Excited to try this one 🙂
Becky@TheSavedRunner says
If I run on a treadmill I almost always have to do intervals like this to keep me from dying of boredom! 🙂
Taylee @ twist me fit says
Breakfast looks delish! Can’t wait to hear about the wedding!

I cannot WAIT for the wedding racaps to begin 🙂 <3
Cate says
Uh, is the Fage key lime flavor new? Key lime is my favorite flavor and I love Fage, but I haven’t seen this!
Katie @ running4cupcakes says

Jen @ impossible jen says
i keep forgetting to grab the key lime fage, i need to try that flavor. saving the treadmill work out for after my 15k this month.
Remi says
What was your total miles completed with this workout? I’m doing the 100 miles in March challenge, so I’m trying to track how many miles these workouts would be! This workout looks great for making the time fly by and fighting boredom!
Ally @ The Zebra Runner says
This looks like so much fun! I will for sure try this out!
Jill says
Did the treadmill workout over my lunch break today. Good one!
Kim @FITsique says
I have never thought to use avocado as a spread for my toast! This would probably be great with an overeasy egg on top! Have a safe trip!
Michelle Binkley says
Just tried this workout today. Great one! Love all of your treadmill workouts. 🙂
erica says
I had no idea fage had a key lime flavor!!! I’m going to hunt this down!
Kelly says
Have so much fun! Also, I’m so jealous our grocery store doesn’t have that flavor!
Michelle @ A Healthy Mrs says
Great treadmill workout — gotta keep it interesting! 🙂
Christina @ The Beautiful Balance says
Avocado toast is the best! Next time, satisfy both cravings by drizzling honey or agave over the mashed avocado and sprinkle with cinnamon. Sounds crazy but so good!
