Hey TL...when and if you get your treadmill here is a awesome workout to start out with...

Week 1: Walk continuously for 30-60 minutes between 3.0 mph and 4.0 mph. Repeat this workout 3-4 times during the first week. This is just to get you going. If you're somewhat active you can skip this week and go straight to week 2.

Week 2: Walk for 4:30 between 3.0 and 4.0 mph then jog for 30 seconds at a speed between 4.5 and 5.0 mph. After jogging for 30 seconds go back to a walking speed for 4:30. Repeat this pattern 6 times until you reach 30 minutes.

Week 3: Walk for 4 minutes between 3.0 and 4.0 mph then jog between 4.5 and 5.0 mph for 1 minute. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 4: Walk for 3:30 minutes between 3.0 and 4.0 mph and then jog for 1:30 between 4.5 and 5.5 mph. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 5: Walk for 3 minutes between 3.0 and 4.0 mph and then jog for 2 minutes between 4.5 and 5.5 mph. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 6: Walk for 2:30 minutes between 3.0 and 4.0 mph and then jog for 2:30 minutes between 4.5 and 5.5 mph. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 7: Walk for 2 minutes between 3.0 and 4.0 mph and then jog for 3 minutes between 4.5 and 6.0 mph. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 8: Walk for 1:30 minutes between 3.0 and 4.0 mph and then jog for 3:30 minutes between 4.5 and 6.0 mph. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 9: Walk for 1 minute between 3.0 and 4.0 mph and then jog for 4 minutes between 4.5 and 6.0 mph. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 10: Walk for 30 seconds between 3.0 and 4.0 mph and then jog for 4:30 between 4.5 and 6.0 mph. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 11: Jog for 30 minutes between 4.5 and 6.0 mph. Do your best not to take any breaks, but if you're really out of breath simply walk for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then go right back to your jogging speed.

Exercise can be harmful to your health....  It's only a couple of seconds long, go ahead! Look at it! Don't be scared! You can learn from it!

[BeccaBoo]

We dont have a Y...and our gyms here are EXPENSIVE!!

[Sis]

Come visit. We have an exercise room here in the complex. 

I felt guilty about the jelly donut and ran in place for 15 minutes to wear some of it off. Didn't feel good enough to do any more. But it sure was good goin' down.

Today has been a purty good day for me, actually.  Got up early again (I seem to be on a streak here) and put in some exercise this morning (about 12 minutes or so) and then after work I took a 30 minute walk at my favorite spot along the water near the airport.  I was listening to my ipod wiith one ear and listening to the planes with the other ear.  :-)

And I had a "pretty" day today - a day when I just felt pretty.  :-)  It was kind of cool.  One of those days when I felt confident, even though I wasn't dressed special and didnt' have my hair a certain way.

So there I was walking along, watching the planes, listening to worship music, and then I started getting messages on my phone...

So there I was walking along at a pretty decent pace to a pretty fast song while feeling pretty, watching the planes land and listening to the birds call to one another while holding my phone and messaging.  lol

I must've been a sight.  But I felt pretty.  Just because.

And the scenery kept going by quickly as I walked at a quick pace, and it was kind of strange to be so focused on messaging while watching the rest of the world fly by and listening to the planes go by.

Okay...  I'm feeling poetic at this very moment.

Quick!  Someone resurrect the haiku thread!

[BeccaBoo]

I got up and went and walk/jogged on the treadmill for a hour...

I burned 500 cals...

I am very proud of myself...

If I can just keep doing that...

This is the 3rd day of the 2nd week that I've gotten up early enough to be able to get in 10 to 20 minutes of exercise before work.  I'm quite excited!

I had one in NY. I walked 5-10 miles a day on it. I would put in a video and the time would whiz by.
