In the never-ending battle to keep my workouts interesting, or at least to make them less boring, this week I'm using a different focus as I run on the treadmill. I generally simply run six miles and that's it. But can you imagine how boring that gets?
The main thing with cardio is to burn a decent amount of calories, so I've been concentrating there, working at 1100 calories a day.
To my great surprise I discovered that I can burn as many calories walking at 4.2 mph on a steep gradient (10) as I do running. With that in mind I've walked more than I have for a long while and have been very pleased with the results.
You have to vary it, mix it up somehow, especially when you're borderline ADD like me.
