What do you do on the treadmill? (SS)
10-8 asked me in a previous blog, what I do on the treadmill to tolerate 80 minutes. That is a good question and anyone who uses a piece of equipment like a stationary bike, mill, stairstepper, etc, I would like to know how you keep yourself there and for how long?
For me, it is all in the music. The Hubby has made me two cds to mill to and I am currently picking out music for a third and fourth. This way I can rotate and never get tried of hearing the same thing.
I pick music that I love and that will inspire me to keep going. I can't wait to hear the next song b/c I know its something I WANT to hear. I also walk/jog to the beat of the music.
Here is an example: I may have Macy Grey's, A Moment to myself...then Springsteen's Born in the USA...then Dwight's Little Sister...then ZZ Top's Tush...
as each one of these songs come on I either walk faster and change the incline...or I may slow down but increase the incline even more, or no incline and pace myself slower if I need some recovery time before I speed it up again. And of course, there are those songs that you have to dance to and the ones that I work w/ weights and do arm exercises to.
I really am never walking at the same pace. And I always stay in fat-burning mode the entire time!
Over all, the mill can be boring, so I liven it up as much as possible. How does every one else keep at it?
