Workout
Tuesday- 4 miles on treadmill + arm workout
2 sets of:
20 pushups
12 tricep dips
Treadmill Tuesday: Incline is not joke
I was inspired by Karina a lot yesterday(my arm workouts are from her too). She shared some of her treadmill tips and I decided to try them and make up my own workout.
Start out at 3% incline and every half mile make it down to 1% incline, then climb back up to 3% and then back down to 0%. Mine looked like this:
3% incline @ 5.5 mph for .5 mile
2% incline @ 5.7mph for .5 mile
1% incline @ 5.9 mph for .5 mile
2% incline @ 6.1 mph for .5 mile
3% incline @ 6.3 mph for .5 mile(I had to take a 30sec break after this one, sheesh!)
2% incline @ 6.1 mph for .5 mile
1% incline @ 5.9 mph for .5 mile
0% incline @ 5.7 mph for .5 mile (Karina was right, I felt like I was going downhill)
If you want to know more, jump over to Karina’s cute blog where she explains a lot of the benefits, they’re awesome!
After I finally cool down from the incline workout, we headed to get my safety inspections done on my car. J always loves when we go to Grease Monkey, they have a pretty cool play place.
We ran a lot of errands yesterday trying to get ready for Christmas. J was a champ! Just a few more things on my to do list and then we’ll be done.
Are you ready for Christmas?
If you could travel anywhere for Christmas where would you go?
Do you do a lot of incline workouts?
You are so right, inclines are no joke. I swear I sweat buckets when I do incline walking on the treadmill
Me too! I promised my husband I wouldn’t post so many sweaty pictures, or I prob would have lol It’s a win win for all I’m sure;)
Your son is sooo adorable!
Thanks Emma, you’re so sweet.
I am so not ready for Christmas yet!! if I could go anywhere it would probably be to Switzerland for Christmas…so pretty and lot’s of mountains to snowboard 🙂
That sounds so amazing! I bet you two go sometime, you’re always finding fun things to do.
I’d love to spend Christmas in the snowy mountains 🙂 I ran hills this weekend…I’m still recovering!
Ugh, I think I’m going to be recovering for awhile, hurts so good lol
I don’t do a lot of incline workouts, but I would love to try to incorporate some once I have access to a treadmill again. I am almost ready for Christmas, just a few more gifts to get!
So glad you’re almost done Christmas shopping, that’s a great feeling=)
Sounds like hill repeats. Those are great to do both on and off the treadmill. Nice job getting it in!
That’s exactly what they are. Can you believe I’ve never done them before, I guess I learn something new everyday ha
By the end of tomorrow night, I am determined to be ready for Christmas. That treadmill workout looks killer – I think I’m going to try it tonight!
Good luck on finishing up Christmas shopping and the workout! It definitely left me feeling stronger, let me know how it goes=)
I am not a fan of the hills! But I still put them in because I know that help with training. J is so cute! If I could travel anywhere it would be to Savannah. I love the south and at Christmastime it is just perfect!
I’ve never gotten to travel to the south, I would love to check it out. I hope one day you get to!
I am sure you will!! It is AMAZING! Life moves so much slower and it just feels good! 🙂
I’m late to the game but I LOVE your new name! Sugar plums- perfect for this time of year too. 🙂
Thanks so much Alex!
Oh Lawdy I despise hills! But they are sooo good for training! I have to do actual hills outside… I die doing inclines on the treadmill! I am definitely not ready for Christmas! And I don’t think I would change my location for Christmas 😉 I just hope it is a white one!
Haha you’re so funny! I hope you have a white Christmas too!
I’ve never really played around with the incline on treadmill. I usually just go flat but now I think I’m going to have to give this kind of work out a go! I’ll be home in a WEEK and while I’m there there is bound to be at least one day when I’m stuck on a treadmill because of snow or ice or cold. I’ll let you know how it goes 🙂
Definitely do, have fun being at home!
I’m so excited that I won the giveaway! They sound like they’re going to be great!
Also, thanks for the link to the bicep workout. I’ll try it soon!
You are the cutest. and dang girl you rocked that treadmill!
I don’t do incline workouts unless I’m training for a race, it hurts my body!
I have a pretty cheap treadmill (but it’s been a good one!!) however, it doesn’t have any incline feature and I hate that because I love a good incline workout!
ooh, please share your workout!
Holy cow, you’re amazing!! Good work lady!
