Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Betsy, I almost always do my cardio in my neighborhood with a stop watch but sometimes I end up doing it at the gym on a treadmill so I do know my speeds. I start out at 3.8 as my level 5 (brisk stroll), 4.0 is my level 6 (fast walk), 4.4 is my level 7 (very fast walk), 4.8 is my level 8 ( " power-walk " ), 5.8 is my level 9 (jog) and 8.0 is my level 10 (run). Sara Do you have any idea how fast you're walking at any of those levels? I'm trying to maintain a pace that sounds like it's somewhere around your 7 or 8, and that's generally about 4 mph. Thanks, Betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I walk fast with the use of the incline to increase intensity. My routine is usually: Level 5 - Speed - 3.5/Incline - 6 Level 6 - Speed - 3.6/Incline - 7 Level 7 - Speed - 3.7/Incline - 8 Level 8 - Speed - 3.8/Incline - 9 Level 9 - Speed - 3.9/Incline - 10 Level 10 - Speed - 4.0/Incline - 12 I see in your routine you go all the way up to 4.8 as a power walk, where you are still not running. I think I will try increasing the speed .2 increments and keep my inclines the same and see how that goes. E.g., Level 5 - Speed - 3.5/Incline - 6 Level 6 - Speed - 3.7/Incline - 7 Level 7 - Speed - 3.9/Incline - 8 Level 8 - Speed - 4.1/Incline - 9 Level 9 - Speed - 4.3/Incline - 10 Level 10 - Speed - 4.5/Incline - 12 I know I'll be sucking air by then!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Good to hear from you Ginger... Hayley now has antibiotics and is feeling great. We had a broken pipe here.. heard gushing water.... fortunately we were able to turn just that area off so we still had water in the rest of the house. My group from NH didn't bring any heavy clothes with them... Louisiana is usually in the 50-60's during the day... so these 22 degree lows and 37 degree highs have forced us inside, Both girl's have done very well, both have lost 11 lbs since Tuesday.... I would love to lose 11 lbs!... Betsy Betsy, You have your hands full ! So good to read the girls sleeves are done. I hope Holey is feeling better and no more seizures. I am trying to catchup today on all the news. Life is still a zoo here. We have been cold here as well. Pipes were frozen at church this a.m. The buildings here are NOT wellinsulated at all. Ginger <>< > > Hi and thanks..I will read tomorrow.. I have babysat 4 3year olds since Monday! I am pooped tonight. Hayley had fever all day, but I think it has broken.... she had seizures once with high fever, so it was a little scary. and Helen have had their sleeves done . They used Dr Alvarez in Piedro Negro I think... near Eagle Pass TX. Both seem to be doing well and E will be here tomorrow. ..Certainly a short post surgery recovery... > liquids for several weeks, then soft, etc. We are literally freezing.. coldest weather in 15 years. Not to mention the 26 inches of rain in December. Can't wait to understand this faceook stuff. Thanks > again...Betsy > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Sorry about the broken pipe ! The pipes were froze at church on Sunday, but they did not burst... thank goodness. I just saw weather and we are supposed to be back in the 50's by Weds. YEAH ! Glad Hayley is doing better. Sorry I butchered her name before. I was tired ! I would like to lose 11 pounds as well ! We are in the same boat. Ginger <>< > > > > > > Hi and thanks..I will read tomorrow.. I have babysat 4 3year olds since > > Monday! I am pooped tonight.
