Colin spent Friday evening putting it together but I didn't get near it till Sunday. I went down and walked on it for 20 minutes at a speed of 2.2 Its a nice leisurely walk but then every 5 minutes I decided to bump it up to a speed of 3 and ran for 30 seconds. Yes I said ran ... its something I have not done since I was between 12 and 15 years old.
I was shocked I could even do it. Its not something I will do every time I'm on the treadmill right now, I just wanted to see if it was possible. I was so excited!
Today I will go out and pick up a heart rate monitor. I hope to get one that will help me figure out what my at rest heart rate is and then I will know what I should be at to burn more fat!
Part of my new in home gym ... We have a treadmill, a weight bench, 2 bikes (one recumbent and one regular) and a punching dummy ... I hope to be able to use all these things soon but for now I will stick with the treadmill!
