My goal was to jog one mile...that came and I was gunna fast walk another mile...2 miles came...I was gunna go 3...that was a mix of walk/fast walk/jog/sprint...then 3 came and I went to 3.5 and decided to stop...I was amazed I could make it this far...I have used a treadmill one other time and I have not really been working out....Thanks to my fiance's mom, I went 3.5 miles tonight!!! I think my eating better has helped...but I'm not for sure...All I know is I'm sooo excited and tired!!!

Dang girl! 3.5 miles, great job!
Hmm, I was reading about health and fitness and the book said that jogging one mile burns the same amount of calories as walking one mile:huh:. Kinda hard to believe, since jogging is harder.

Congrats! That's great! Have you ever worn a pedometer to see how far you walk in one day (you can translate it into calories burned, but I never did)? I did for a few weeks... it was fairly impressive.

I am amazed! Between riding horses, zumba, and jogging/walking this summer I should be able to tone up! I know I walk about 12 blocks a day I think I figured out, that is a lot!

Good for you. How often willyou be using it? Make sure you warm up and cool down. Keep up the good work!

Congrats to you! I know after I walk on the treadmill sometimes my legs feel like wet noodles, or will feel real funny in my legs like I'm still walking on it. LOL

I've been trying to work out more myself. Course after the fall of Pandora, I've had to limit that. Oh well.

Your doing great though!

Didn't go to Zumba, but did walk/jog about a mile and a half!
