I'm starting a new treadmill workout routine and I was wondering how long I should run each day.<|im_end|>

Congratulations on starting your new routine. For a beginner, it's recommended to start with 20-30 minutes per day, 3-4 times a week.<|im_end|>

That sounds manageable. What's a good way to mix up my routine so I don't get bored?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
You can try interval training, where you alternate between walking and running, or incorporate incline changes to simulate uphill running. This will help keep your workouts interesting and challenging.<|im_end|>

That's a great idea. Are there any specific treadmill workouts you'd recommend for a beginner like me?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, try a brisk walk for 5 minutes, followed by a 1-minute run at a moderate pace, and then repeat for 20-30 minutes. This will help you build endurance and get comfortable with running on the treadmill.<|im_end|>
