In my previous blog I wrote about switching up my treadmill workout. It was a 20 minute session called energy boost. I decided that today was the day I was going to try that baby out.
Here I am in my workout garb, my bottle of water, my music player banging out metallica,def leppard and all that stuff to help get my heart pumping.
I get on it and if you look at the previous post it starts out at a speed of 2.5 and it gradually goes all the way to 5.0 every 2 minutes and then gradually back down for a total of 20 minutes. Anyway I get started got a good rhythm going. I get to 4 and had to stop. I could not breathe to save my life! So for the 10 minutes I did 4-5 and back down to 4 I had to stop like every thirty seconds so  I could catch my breath...I felt like someone put an elephant on my chest.  I get back down to 3.5 and it was smooth sailing the rest of the time. I stop the treadmill at the end and I swear to you I thought I was going to keel over. I had the jello legs the spinning room and everything. I drank my water did all my stretches and an hour later I am so tired I can barely see straight.... my question is...Where's the energy boost? I am certainly not feeling it. Maybe its a term for the really fit people who havent spent 3 years on their butts doing nothing but having and raising kids.

I am going to keep at it. It says do it 6 days a week. Maybe I can get used to it and feel that energy boost they swear you feel after the workout......but for now...I can honestly say ............energy boost my @$$!!!!!!!!!

Alright I feel so much better. On the plus side though....I DID IT!!!!!!!!!! I thought for sure I was going to quit half way through but I maintained my will and I kept right on going.

New goal for the next week....cut down the breaks on this workout  from every 30 seconds to once every 2 minutes or so and next week hopefully be able to do this with no break at all.

Okay its time for me to wobble on and get my little people ready for school tomorrow.

Have a wonderful night!!!!!!
