Why Interval Training on a Treadmill Works
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on a treadmill alternates between bursts of high effort and recovery periods. This approach burns more calories in less time than steady-state cardio and keeps your metabolism elevated for hours after the workout.
The Aznolt® Foldable Treadmill is perfectly suited for this style of training. Its quiet motor, adjustable speed, and compact fold-flat design make it ideal for apartment or home use.
