Combine Cardio and Strength With This 30-Minute Treadmill Workout

Ready to hit the tread and get a great sweat sesh in? This treadmill workout was designed by Gold's Gym Director of Fitness Andy Coggan just for POPSUGAR.

"This is a full-body treadmill workout designed to burn calories and build strength," Andy told us. "No need to hit the weights after this routine, as each five-minute segment integrates an upper- or lower-body resistance movement with some sprints mixed in to keep the heart rate high throughout."

This 30-minute routine will breeze by - you'll be doing something different and challenging every other minute. Keep in mind that this workout is on the advanced side, and you'll need a set of hand weights for the cup holders on your treadmill for the strength-training portions. Are you ready? Let's go!
