I've got a Carl Lewis treadmill, second hand, but in good working order.
I've got my Asics running shoes and a Shock Absorber sports bra. Sorted.
I've had two sessions on it so far, consisting of;
4 mins walking @ 5mph then 1 min jog @ 7mph, repeated 4 times
Interspersed with;
3 mins walking @ 5mph with 2 mins jog at 7mph, about two times.
I do this for half an hour every other day, at the moment. I am about 14 stone and would like to be about ten stone in a year. I am calorie counting and keeping a food diary which so far has been an eye opener and pretty successful. The only thing I don't want have in the house are some scales so I probably need to get some cos I don't actually know what I weigh exactly. I had a smear test five months ago and the nurse weighed me then.
Does that sound like a good start? Obviously I hope to decrease the walking and increase the jogging as I get fitter.
