I started out on incline of 10 and speed of 4km/h for a few minutes then ran for 30 secs at the same incline but 10km/h then back to 4km/h for 1 min 30 sec - repeated 3 times then cooled down.
I felt I could go quite a bit faster and will prob increase the incline slightly too but was happy with what I accomplished for a first go. Over the coming weeks I will increase both incline and speed slightly each time.
Keep up the good work. I definitely couldnt run on my treadmill when it was in the house. i though i would fall too. would never do it at the gym either. i did really fast walking and always on an incline.
i guess our goals in this club can be twofold
- the method.. e.g. running at a particular include for nn minutes. though unlike standard exercise we shouldnt be extendig the time e.g on the treadmill otherwise its not HIT
- the result (body fat/waistline and others mentioned here)
its an area we just dont focus on weight loss. good news that just happen if we are doing this all with 5:2 intermittent fasting, whatever variation one chooses.
so glad i started this club.. kind of the missing piece in the puzzle as it means we have both food intake and activity as part of our overall strategy to get healthy fit, and slim
