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:)
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.
ReplyDeleteIf 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
ReplyDeletebut I'd follow the incline as listed.
Let me know if you try it and how it goes!:)
