Week 1: Quick 15 Workout Update

I can not tell a lie.  My first day doing the Quick 15 SUCKED!  For some reason, I thought the speed column was the incline and vice versa.  Lesson learned, always read the directions carefully.  My first go-round I couldn't get the speed past a 5, maybe a 5.5.  However bad it sucked, I did feel it later.  You know those little musle spasms, I call them pulses.  All night last night I felt pulses!:)

Today, however, I completed the whole thing!!!!  I loved the first 5 minutes, a brisk walk on a small incline.  Then, minutes 5-10 weren't horrible.  I did them, without  cheating, speed and incline as stated.  Minutes 11-14 were a bit of a challenge, but I kept reminding myself that I can do anything for one minute.  I was never happier to se the number 14 in my life. 

I hope tomorrow gets even easier.  Have you tried it yet?  Any ideas on what I should try next? Leave me a comment, and tell your friends:)

  1. Never mind on my last comment. This post made me feel better... When I saw the speed of 7, I thought there is no way I could do that.

  2. If you aren't an avid treadmill runner I might suggest dropping the speed by one full number. For instance, instead of a 6 run at a 5 and instead of a 6.5 run at a 5.5
    but I'd follow the incline as listed.
    Let me know if you try it and how it goes!:)
