Morning all ..
After nearly 6 weeks on my exercise bike ... and my bum has been killing me !!LOL..
I have bought myself a treadmill. It was secondhand -so came without a manual.
I noticed when i did an hour last night I acheived 2.5 km in total and used about 220 cals and that took an hour. I was doing a steady pace of between 2/3 km and didnt really increase speed a lot maybe tops 4/4.5 km.
I did 1/2 hour this morning and increased the speed from 3km to 5km for 10 mins and then slowed down again - did that twice and managed a total of 1.9 km and used 185 cals.... So it would seem that i should do the latter more often !!. I have a big bottle of water on hand as well.
Does anyone have any tips on using a treadmill, and what i should do - I dont feel confident about jogging/ running on it yet ..as of fear of knocking myself out with my 'Bangers'!! LOL
no seriously. bit wary at the minute .
thanxs for any tips xx
