Intense Treadmill Incline Workout

Yesterday was the second time that I attempted this workout and I will be the first to say that it absolutely kicked my butt!  The combination of incline and speed made it super tough - and even though I would like to say that I was able to keep up with each speed, it didn't always happen and sometimes I had to decrease the speed, but never the incline.  I hope sometime soon I'll be able to complete the workout in full but for the time being  some modifications will work.
 
Minutes Incline Speed
0 -- 5 1 6
5 -- 6 5 4
6 --7 5 6.5
7 -- 8  6 3.5
8 -- 9 6 6.3
9 --10 7 3.5
10 --11 7 6.1
11 -- 12 8 3
12 -- 13 8 5.9
13 -- 14 9 3
14 -- 15 9 5.7
15 -- 16 10 3
16 -- 17 10 5.5
17 -- 18 11 3
18 -- 19 11 5.3
19 -- 20 12 3
20 -- 21 12 5.1
21 -- 22 13 3
22 -- 23 13 4.9
23 -- 24 14 3
24 -- 25 14 4.7
25 -- 26 15 3
26 -- 27 15 4.5
27 -- 30 5 3.5

This workout really got my heart rate up and by the end I was a sweaty mess!  And even though it is only a 30 minute workout you burn the calories and sweat as if you were going for much longer!  After the workout and since it was a Sunday (i.e. not much to do the rest of the day) I opted to jog for another 15 minutes.

Give it a try sometime - but be prepared, it's tough!
