Healthy Exercise: Treadmill Workouts
I really want to get back on the treadmill. I miss it because it’s a great workout if you don’t get bored easily. My favorite things to do on the treadmill are walk with weights and walk on an incline and I *might* like to throw a quick one minute run in there too. I like to change things up to make treadmill workouts a challenge for me. Walking indoors or out is a very healthy exercise. Make sure you have the right shoes and you’re good to go.
As many of you know, at the beginning of last year, I started training to run a half marathon in Jamaica. I had an extremely hard time with running both on the treadmill and outdoors (due to breathing issues). Well you can now read my story about how I completed my first half marathon just 3 months ago and what a struggle it was. BUT it was also an amazing accomplishment! I am pretty sure long distance races are not in the cards for me but never say never. There are a few races I would like to do for FUN (hello Disney Princess!) and I’m OK if we have to walk them. A treadmill at home could really help with the training for future races though.
