I have a treadmill!!

Guess what?!  I have a treadmill!!  That's right - no more excuses for not exercising at home!! We set it up last night and had a quick little walk on it and tested out the incline (it's a manual incline, you either have it on or not).  It feels very different to the ones at the gym, but let's be honest, those ones are worth thousands of dollars so they are going to feel more smooth.  This one goes up to

10km per hour (not sure about the ones at the gym, I can't run that fast - yet! lol)  Sorry the pics are a little blurry, I quickly took them this morning as I was getting ready for work!  The funny thing is, as we were getting it out of the car, I managed to hurt myself by tripping over the tow ball!  So I have a graze down my right arm (which still stings!) and a bruised right knee.  Exercise definitely = pain! lol!!

After yesterday's query in regards to what should I be aiming for exercise wise, I have taken a look at the beginner exercises, and I have made the decision to go back to beginner exercises, rather than staying at the intermediate level.  I have to admit that I do feel sad about this as I was so excited to be in the intermediate range after doing my fitness test. However, after looking through the exercises this morning, I think I would actually be able to finish the exercises as they are set out, and hopefully I will be able to build up my fitness enough to go back into the intermediate category.

I think that is about all for me today, the only other thing that I thought I would mention was that I went to the gym last night even though my gym buddy couldn't make it.  Admittedly I didn't stay as long as I usually do and I only burned 337 calories, but I still went and exercised.  I think the main reason why I didn't stay as long was because I was actually in a bit of pain from DOMS from Tuesday's workout.  I am planning on doing a pump class tonight - hopefully my knee can handle it after being banged up last night! lol
