This morning I got on the treadmill (thanks to Andy who tried to repair the belt going off to the side issue) and a "brisk" 5 min warm-up walk followed by 60 seconds of jogging and then 90 seconds of walking. I did this for 20 min and then did a 5 min cool down to give a total of 30 min on the treadmill. Not to bad if you ask me. I can feel it now all over, in my chest, butt, and even my back, just goes to show how out of shape I really am.
This is just the beginning of my training to do a 5k, possibly even a 10k, and then a sprint triathlon in August. I know that if I commit my self to doing things like that I will be better at exercising. Having a goal is very important in all of this.
So, let's see how it goes. Wish me luck for the next few weeks.

I have been walking 4-5 days a week. I can't believe how much better I feel, physically and mentally, when I take even 30 minutes to walk around the block a few times. However, I still struggle with the motivation to get out the door and go. It helps a lot to listen to my Ipod. I know it will be harder for me when the summer comes and it is HOT. I am not a summer person anymore. I love COLD! Then again, I won't have to be preparing a seminary lesson or getting up at 5:00 every morning. Go summer!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSHay, I am so proud of you! You go girl! I am totally cheering you on from the comfort of my couch and my well cushioned butt! I can't wait to start really exercising after this baby gets here.
