You do not need to be a great runner to get the calorie and fat burning benefits from this workout so just give it your all.

Intervals of 30 second treadmill runs/sprints and then 60 seconds of rest then repeat. After your run/sprint jump to the sides to rest for 60 seconds.
During your 60 second rest: Ramp up your speed 1-2 mph before starting your next interval until you reach a speed you feel you cannot run any faster.
