Better to do a steep incline at a fast walking pace if you have to use a treadmill. Otherwise, get outdoors.  |
Thanks for the tips.
I try and do a mix of it. When the GF is in town, here and I will go walk the parks, or mall. She jokes that, "I need to walk her", after we go to dinner. All the same, good info.
I have not worked up to be strong enough to last on any step incline. I have saw a few nice ones I would like to get later. Right now I can't last long on an elliptical. So have a ways to go. But at least making progress on staying active to some degree.
