Back on the Treadmill :)

I woke up, sorry, I should rephrase that, I was woken up by drips of what I thought was water landing on my face on Sunday morning. Sadly, when I opened my eyes I came to the disturbing realisation that it wasn't water. The kids had been playing with balloons and that 'water' was dripping out of those balloons - nice. I must remember to thank my husband for that one, he sent them upstairs. The good news was that I had an urge to jump onto the treadmill and that's exactly what I did.

*Workout*

I grabbed my treadmill lucky dip cards and ended up with treadmill workout #1. This particular workout came from PBF (with just a couple of small changes in the last 8 mins). The workout went like this :

Then I also added on a nice, relaxing 10 min cool down..............

....followed by a couple of mins of squats while on the vibration platform.

I felt really, really good when I had finished. The best thing about the interval workout was that the time flew by. After the first 5 mins when the intervals started it was just go, go, go with no time to let my mind wander and keep asking how long to go. Before I knew it, the workout was finished. I know when I am just walking or running, the workout can sometimes drag on, plus I burned a lot more calories than if I had of just been walking. It was great and I am excited to do another one.

*This is me after my workout*

Did I fool you?? No? Didn't think so, this is more like me - red faced and sweaty.

*HRM Stats*

The bottom line is I really enjoyed my workout and I felt really good for the rest of the day. My question to myself is........Why don't you do this every day????? Can't really answer that one, well, I can, but I am trying to be kind to myself. I do know one thing for sure - I am going to change things so it does happen everyday. I just don't want to be woken with kiddie dribble from balloons again - yuk!
