If hill workouts make you think of slogging up a never-ending incline, let us introduce you to a different kind. And yes, it's still agreat cardio session. In fact, exercising on a hill provides many cardiovascular benefits,Courtney Winfield,CPT, tells LIVESTRONG.com.

"Due to the hill's incline, our muscles are engaged differently than they are on flat surfaces, which raises our heart rate and burns more calories," Winfield says. It's also ups the ante on your strength training, since the muscles in your lower body (think: hamstrings, quads and glutes) work a bit harder topower you up an incline, she says.

Plus, you'll also recruit more core strength, since the hill poses a balance challenge. Just take things slowly, Winfield advises, since being off-balance increases your risk of falling.

“减慢你的动作减慢了一点;这次是慢慢地通过你的动作工作,专注于形式的机会,”她说。这不仅使锻炼更安全,但它还允许您在每种举动中都在努力地与特定的肌肉群体啮合。

因此,如果您准备好获得卡路里爆破的锻炼,这座山锻炼适合您。Winfield设计为您从头到脚趾向脚趾工作,这次心灵力量会议将在爬过每个运动时塑造手臂,腿,核心和臀部。
