This morning I tried out the incline treadmill at the gym. The trainer wants me to walk at a 30° incline for 20 minutes at 2 miles per hour. Hah! I managed to alternate between 10° and 15°, with a minute or so of 20° thrown in there – all at 2 miles per hour at least. But I walked for 25 minutes, burned 186 calories, and ascended the equivalent of 407 vertical feet over .79 miles. Think I’m ready to climb Mt. Everest? Kidding!
And then, because I hadn’t punished my legs enough, I suggested we walk to the playground at the school after dinner. So I felt justified in splitting a strawberry italian ice with Carrie when we got home. ;)
