Treadmill Workout #1

Treadmill reading after 30 minutes

     I'm beginning to get my life schedule back on track. This includes going to the gym and bringing the kids.

 

      The biggest Joe has recently finished Marching Band and the littlest Joe finished an awesome soccer season and cross country. She did the sports simultaneously and I am pretty proud of the work she put into both. The are both conditioning for indoor track now and she is also starting basketball. They are both working out like crazy to stay fit/get fit for their respective sports. My niece and nephew do not play sports but voiced an interest in going to the gym. Everyone in the house got a gym membership. My niece has set some fitness goals for herself so I came up with some treadmill workouts that challenge her and myself as well.

I like this workout because it makes running at a faster pace a lot less intimidating for a slower runner like myself.  This is a 30 minute treadmill workout that combines walking and running. The speed for the walking should be faster than a stroll but slow enough that you are cooling down from your run. The run should be a challenging pace.
