Can I tell you just how AWESOME it feels to JOG on the treadmill?!?!?!? The first week calls for 5 minutes of brisk warm-up walking followed by 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for 20 minutes. I can do 60 seconds of jogging and usually do 2+ minutes of walking to get my heart-rate and O2 sats back. My HR is getting kinda high – maxing so far at 160+ and my O2 has dropped as low as 84% while jogging.

'It was kinda fun 'shooting up' in the bar' hehe, I get to do this at a friends party next week. I'm kinda panicking at the idea of someone thinking I really am shooting up though! Xx
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha Meg! I was worried about that too but I sat in the corner of the booth and just had my back to everyone.
Aimes, I am SO PROUD of you for working out. It will get harder, but even as it gets harder I still look forward to getting out and doing it. I may regret it while I'm out there (shhhh, don't tell anyone!) but with the program I feel like I have a goal.

ReplyDeleteThere is one on my birthday I was tempted to sign up for, and I have until October 8th...sooooo maybe.....how cool would that be for us both to do it together!!!! O2 in tow the whole time haha!!!
