Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on January 6, 2017

Hello Diet Bet friends! Hope everyone had a good first full week of 2017! I am feeling a lot better from my cough but still took it easy on the work out today. Ended up just walking for 20 minutes with a 10% incline. Anyone else like to do the treadmill on an incline? I think it is a good workout that is still low impact. I don't hold on to the rails so I'm working the whole time. I eventually want to work up to 15% with a weighted vest... but for now I'm happy to be doing just a little. I could of easily stayed warm and toasty on the couch with my cats watching Big Bang Theory but I knew I'd feel better if I did something.. And I did!

Well, tomorrow is Saturday! Woo Hoo! My plan is to go play in the mountains somewhere and find some snow! I figue that is a fun way to get some exercise in! Has anyone tried snowshoeing? I have gone once and loved it! I think I want to try cross country skiing next... tubing is fun too! :)

But for now I'll do some laundry and watch Bones and enjoy my fire place. Hope everyone else has a great evening too!

I really dislike my treadmill. I bought it used so I didnt spend much. You have inspired me though to open it up and up the incline and .... maybe do 5 or 10 minutes on it! Thank you for the blog post!

Thank you Louise! I usually feel better after the first 5 minutes on it! And I never hear anyone say they regret working out! ;)

Hi Daisy! I do incline walk often as a steady cardio and it is efficient! Any amount of moving is moving - don't under-estimate your effort!I walk my dog in woods with weighed west and love it. It turns regular walks into good cardio :).I used it also on treadmill - but this is most for training for the bigger hikes - to be able to carry 10kg on my back, so I tend to do it for couple of months before, not regularly.Love mountains - I hike most of the time. Even though I'm from Norway, I haven't yet to ski or snowshoeing. Sounds fun :). My Saturday will be spent on mountain as well (not that high so I can enjoy some snow, but still - a good hike is a good way to spend free day).Have a blast today and pic's are mandatory :DPS: your choices on series to enjoy are very good ones ;)
