During my training, I have found that it is much easier to walk on a treadmill than it is on actual ground. Easier on my body, feet, joints, knee & back. We walk on the treadmill at the YMCA because we are members and pay monthly for it…so what started out as a “get healthy & exercise”, has now, through the 3 day, turned into “build our stamina”. So we alternate between outside walks, since we live in paradise and can do so in January …and walking the treadmill inside the Y, which smells like the high school locker room and brings back bad memories of P.E. class wth Mrs. Lasher! I can set the treadmill for different heights, speeds, and set my own mileage, and I find that I burn many calories doing so…but it is still not the same as walking outside on actual pavement…so as we continue our training, I feel we must do more “outside” walking than “inside”.
