I frequently change up my workouts in order to avoid reaching a plateau point; the one thing that makes certain people quit working at staying fit, while others go through completely unproductive workouts that result in wasted time.
Instead of going through another plyometric workout session, I jumped on the treadmill during my lunch hour, and did away with a bit over 1000 calories in under 44 minutes. The important thing to note here is that I don’t run this type of distance regularly, but from time to time, it’s good to surprise the body with an activity it’s not expecting.
I took a few pictures as visual aid for the performance.

Please do not attempt this is you are not properly trained to do so. I take no responsibility should you decide to attempt and injure yourself.
