Get Fit for Steemfest : October 15 2019 - Hitting the Treadmill
Thanks to mother's love, ever since my parents started staying with me I get some really nice home cooked food.
But that also means that I can easily put on weight as well 😅
And ever since I started feeling that my right elbow is starting to feel the strain and pain I stopped vertical leg lifts for a short while, and because that was my only cardio exercise (yes, suspense even for 10 seconds increase your cardio rate) I now have to resort to another alternative.
And probably because my body is starting to accustomed to the stairs cross trainer even with a 30 sprint-30 slow settings, my heart couldn't constantly maintain at the cardio rate.
And hence... I resorted to 2 other types of exercise
Treadmill.... And this!
This position looks easy and even when I saw the men and women on it looks pretty simple, and I thought I have done regular vertical leg lifts would have trained my abs... Oh but this is a whole other level!
When you think that it's just a simple sit up with weights, even with 12.5kg equivalent suspension strength will get you realise that some part of your ab muscles are as soft as tofu!
And especially when you have visceral fat (belly fat), this machine can help you out.
If you ever see such an equipment in the gym.
And after that... Oh the pain..
Oh well... No pain, no gain.
And not to forget building muscles burn fat.
Time to get that extended waistline challenged to shrink!
(and I know that this will take a long time - won't be fit and strong enough for #steemfest most definitely 😂)
And as for the Treadmill, ever since I hurt my knee when I was in my teens and my doctor did mention that I shouldn't stress on my injured knee through jogging, I never hit the Treadmill or jog outdoors.
But since I have been occasionally doing squats with TRX I might as well give it a try, since treadmills do have a bit of impact cushion so it should me OK.
... And then... I survived a 5 minute light jog-cum-walk, half panting and trying to breathe...
... Achieving only 500m 😂
Guess it's a good start non the less.
Too bad I almost hit 10K.... Maybe next round I can get this back up if I remember to walk a little more around the office!
