yes, i am the one with the dog....a walk a day only gets me a little bit of exercise....and i admit i am not too fond of 14 degree walks. we horse around inside more on those coooold days....then spend more time fetching the bone and walking when its at least 30 degrees
i started on the treadmill...just taking it easy for the first week or 2....did 1/2 mile in about 5 minutes....pretty brisk pace imho....dont know how i ever ran 6 minute miles!!!!
I was a bit alarmed at my heart rate though....270 pulse after a 1 minute walking cool-down...definitely not cool....probably a recipe for a heart attack? I'd really have to pussy foot it to keep in my target range according to the american heart assoc. my resting pulse is 60-65, fyi
also pulled out the total gym and some freeweights to gradually work my way back into that....
wish me luck
