Treadmill Run

I've been doing more of my workouts for the past few days on the treadmill....I guess to switch things up a bit.  An incline of 10-15% is no joke! An hour on that and you're burning some serious calories. Imagine walking (or running if your fit) up hill for 30 minutes to an hour?!
Well here's an interesting treadmill workout I ran into.
