The Kelly Workout

A new fat burning workout that only includes running has become extremely popular among women. Minka Kelly, a world known actress, explained her workout routine to Self-magazine, which is now known as the Kelly workout. 

The Kelly workout consists of seven 1-minute intervals of running starting at the speed of 5.0 and going up 0.5 every minute to the speed of 8.0, then a 2-minute interval of running at the speed of 4.5 and is repeated five times. This heart-pumping workout has women of all ages stepping onto the treadmill.

According to the Self-magazine website, Gunnar Peterson who is a celebrity trainer, shares Kelly’s treadmill routine. Running is a great fat burning workout and people who have started this workout, have seen noticeable differences.

Laura Murph, owner of Hope Home Medical LLP in Dallas, Texas, found out about the Kelly workout from the Self magazine.

“I started this workout about six months ago and have been using it ever since,” Murph said, “At first I only did this routine once a week and didn’t notice any difference in my body, but now I do it three times a week and I have lost weight and my stomach and legs are much more toned.”

The Kelly workout has become more and more popular as the word gets out. Peterson has started using this workout on his other celebrity clients, making the Kelly workout more familiar and college students are spreading the word at the University of Oklahoma.

Colleen Fenton, sophomore at the University of Oklahoma, found the workout routine online at the Self-magazine website.

“I would definitely recommend the Kelly workout,” Fenton said, “You don’t have to workout all the time to do this.”
