Re: Treadmill challenge

5.5 incline 4.2 mph speed with 3 lb hand weights.. try that, 20 mins in and i felt like dying..

Re: Treadmill challenge

What kinda hand weights do you use?! I normally have the inclination set to 9-10 with 5 mph speed and I always feel the need to hang on to the side bars every now and then :confused: … Do you use strapped wrist weights or free weights?!

Re: Treadmill challenge

You ladies have a better start than I do. I cant even do all that jazz jhanjhu.. Id fall on my face and slide down with my limp body. Im starting on 3.5 incline at 1 and a tv show.

Re: Treadmill challenge

I use free weights since that’s the only option they have at the gym. and wow 5 mph ?!? i would roll right off the treadmill with that kinda speed 5.6 is my jogging/running speed and that too on max 2 incline.

Re: Treadmill challenge

ladies ladies ladies…be more efficient…interval training…
run, walk, run, walk, run, walk and in 20 minutes you would have done more than someone jogging for an hour…

Re: Treadmill challenge

^ i did that fours times this week. 5 minutes of walking, 10 minutes of running, 10 minute of walking with 12incline, 5 minutes of running :slight_smile: 5 minutes of cool down …totally loved it!
Had to skip and pray jummah during lunch today :slight_smile: but will do 30 minute on the eliptical tonight iA!

12

I have to keep it low impact due to a knee injury so no running for me.. I do sneak in jogging but the pain afterwards isnt worth it :naak:

13

Re: Treadmill challenge

I do interval training for my cardio as well. Probably less so because it’s beneficial and more so, because I can’t do sustained running for extended periods.

14

Re: Treadmill challenge

get a recumbent bike and do sprints and low intensity on that…i would still start slow with the knee situation but that should be better than running for you

15

Re: Treadmill challenge

I freaking can’t do any running.. or jogging, or vigorous walking for a few months :frowning:
so only weights, swimming is another option but i dont have time to go to the pool.
I have managed to give myself a lisfranc, freaking hell :frowning: may have to get screws put in my foot…unless the hoof starts healing with plasma and cortisone n shyt in the next few weeks

Re: Treadmill challenge

i usually have this sequence:

4 min walk at speed 6, 2 min run at 9, 3 min run at 12, 1 min run at 9 … then repeat twice with some variations depending on my mood and the day … sprinting is so much fun … cant wait to get through the initial few minutes of walking to move on to running …

i am biased towards running on the ground though instead of treadmill. tires you more, and keeps you involved with navigating your way through the track … in contrast running on treadmill is like being on cruise control …

Re: Treadmill challenge

you guys are awesome. My “jogging” is at 3.5-4 :frowning:

Re: Treadmill challenge

Just fyi. For the wife if she does 12 min per mile in treadmill, she can do 11:45 min per mile at the track for her continuous run. I would have thought opposite. Since treadmill is cruise control.

Shows you advantage of running outside. Without music and other crape.

Re: Treadmill challenge

Great thread Moodie :kiss:

Last week I just got on it again after months…3.5 incline with a 4…with my goal time which is 42-45 mins…3 times a week.

I am actually kinda excited to be working out again, now that its starting to warm up a bit; my treadmill is in the garage; hence all winter I looked at it like with such desperation :bummer:

No more I say…c’mon ladies let’s keep at it :biggthumb:

Re: Treadmill challenge

Cardio workout for this week. 42 mins both sessions…I try not to push to an hour since the aim is to do it everyday

**Last night - 4 incline with a 3 speed

This afternoon - 3 incline with a 4 speed**

Feeling great alhamdulilah…:k:

How are you ladies holding up with the workouts?
