Progress not perfection

[amponder 396]

I bumped up my workout a little today, I was walking 2mph on a 2% incline for 30 min. I bumped it up to 2.2mph same grade for 40 minutes, but ya know that may not be sprinting but when I started I was walking 1mph for 30min, on the same treadmill it has a weight limit of 300lbs I weighed 321 so with every step it would stop when both feet were on it at the same time.

@@amponder you doing great! Slow and steady wins the race is my motto!!

When you get a comfortable place that's the time to pump it up just a little. Even if it's for a few minutes and then drop back down. Getting your heart rate up a notch at intervals is a good way to rev up the metabolism.

Inclines can be rough on the knees so if you find it's rough drop it down and go a little faster vs higher. Keeping the routine varied will keep your body guessing and keep your metabolism moving.

I took this week off...just couldn't handle the gym and the snow but no regrets!

Thats what it takes....small increases/improvements over time.

Keep it up and soon we'll be hearing of you doing 5k's, etc.

Congrats!
