Compromising My Workout
Oh, it’s one of those mornings! You know… The kind of morning where you just can’t seem to get yourself moving and any type bouncing is certainly out of the question. So…
I compromised my workout!
Instead of doing the 3.4 - 5.0 MPH intervals (if you call 1/8 of a mile an interval) at a 4% grade that I did yesterday, I compromised at walked at 3.0 MPH and raised the incline to 6%. No bouncing required!
I still did my daily minimum of 2.0 miles and 40 minutes. I still sweat. I just changed the intensity from speed to incline. The treadmill calorie counter actually registered more calories burned than other days. Go figure!
Another great benefit of a treadmill: You can change your workout and intensity and the touch of a button.
