I did 1.5 miles in the treadmill again today in twenty eight minutes. I did two five percent grade intervals for a minute each, then two ten percent grade intervals for a minute each, next one 15 percent grade interval for a minute and then I did one minute at a light 5.5mph jog. After that I did a minute at a fifteen percent grade, next I did a minute at a ten percent grade twice and then a minute at a five percent grade twice. That completed my fifth week of working out in a row.
You may have noticed that I have been increasing my time on the treadmill/elliptical by 2 minutes every week. I started at twenty minutes and next week I will get to my goal of doing thirty minutes 4 times a week. I am pretty excited about this, when I started it seemed like thirty minutes were a long ways off but it is finally here. After my vacation in a few weeks I am going to start riding my new recumbent bike in the evening when I get home doing the same thing starting at twenty and working towards thirty minutes. When I get to thirty minutes there as well I will be doing one hour of cardio work out four times a week. It seems like it is a long ways off but after doing this I know I can do it.
