treadmill update

3.5mph at 10% incline feels a sack load of different on this new machine. I do however love a lot of the features it has. Set workouts based on set goals. They are pretty nifty until they want you running at top speed up a 9% incline for 20 minutes. I'm old...take pity on me. I bought this to walk on, not sprint. The HR monitor is handy to know

Did an hour at 5% incline at 2.9mph today which is what the machine told me is my ideal fat burning speed. 450 calories gone according to that...which isn't bad for what amounts to a moderate walking pace.

Gradually upping the time is part of my plan. I've read i'm supposed to alternate between fat burning zone and aerobic exercise. but im pretty sure the aerobic phase will be a lot easier once i've burned off more fat. I've factored in my sweat rate for proper hydration so having two cupholders is going to work nicely, water for anything up to an hour, powerade for anything over that. since i apparently sweat 18oz an hour.

If only knowledge equated results!
