The Ultimate Lunch-Hour Cardio Workout

Hit the treadmill for a 10-minute interval pyramid to kick-start the fat burning and keep it humming. You’ll alternate 1 minute at a steady pace with varying 1-minute bursts. (The plan also works for the elliptical or stairclimber.) Do the highest level you can.
