Run Like a High School Track Star

Running on a treadmill can feel tedious at times - especially if you've already ran a few miles. Here is an outdoor routine to make your jog, to lose belly fat, more enjoyable.

First off, you need to move your routine from the treadmill to the track. This is because muscular endurance is your muscles' ability to contract over a long period of time, and it increases through short bursts of high-intensity exercise and interval training. This also means that muscle-endurance training burns calories faster. The track provides easy, measurable distances that you can mark off for sprints, laps, and other interval exercises; and the bleachers or stadium stairs force you to use your own power (versus the treadmill's belt). The less assistance you have when doing exercises, the more endurance you'll build.
