My first treadmill workout
Hubby brought home the treadmill that a friend gave me last night. We put
it on the back deck. Of course it was raining cats and dogs when he went to pick it up and he didn't have anything to cover it with in the back of the truck. So now the display isn't working, but the treadmill works just fine. Hopefully it will dry out and be okay or hubby will have to take it apart and see if he can fix it. If worse comes to worse he says that he'll buy me a pedometer that I can use. When he got home from work he plugged it in and it worked. So I went out and had my very first venture on the treadmill. I started out on low and every five minutes I turned it up a notch. I did a 25 minute workout with a five minute cool down. Once I started feeling dizzy and was sweating profusely I figured I better call it a night. Mind you, last year at this time if I would have done this I'd be in the back of an ambulance on the way to the hospital! I felt dizzy and weak in the legs after coming inside. My heart was racing and my legs were weak. But it only took about five minutes for things to go back to normal. I have to admit that I've never enjoyed even the thought of exercising let alone doing it. I don't see any problem with incorporating the treadmill along with my dancing and hand weight lifting routine. Imagine, me, exercising and liking it. Who would have thunk it?!!!! And the pool will be open in a month or so. So if you don't see me around.......I'm exercising! Kelly |

I find my walks to be much more enjoyable when I'm listening to some fast tunes. [AC/DC works well for me]. Patrick |

[AC/DC works well for me]. Absolutely. The only way I can get on my stationary bike -- and ride it -- is if I have tunes. I bought an iPod just for that reason. Now, I do enjoy walking without listening to music, but I find I enjoy that more too with music. I enjoy riding my bicycle without music, but I won't be listening to music while doing that -- I need to hear to avoid being roadkill Kelly, listening to music while you workout on your dreadmill is an excellent idea. It will keep it from being a plant-holder. |
