Guest guest Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Wow Gena! Sounds like you really do get a good workout on your treadmill. I know sometimes after I warm-up on the bicycle I go to the treadmill and I really just walk at about 3.2. Depending on my mood.. sometimes I start jogging at a pretty good speed near 5.0 I know a good friend of mine said you should be brisk walking close to 4.2. I am planning to work myself up to there. In the meantime just getting excersize in on a daily routine is feeling good!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Dianne, A regular basis........ that is my thing too. Having the cat emergency the week before didn't help but I'm trying. I've been getting on the tread more regular, now just have to go longer, then I'll be happy. I'm hoping to get up to 6.0 mph by spring. We'll see.:-) Gena > Wow Gena! > > Sounds like you really do get a good workout on your treadmill.
