Easy to start and enjoy the daily steps to fitness
In this site, we like walking and we love running. Not because we like it, we like the way it feels as long as you start slow.
For the new year, get going with a walking program and you will build up to slow jogging then running. To start with your walking, get good support and traction with leather walking shoes. When your body is ready, you can start with a very short run every day and build up. Running is the best exercise. Winter weather and traffic can make running unpleasant and difficult. Gym workouts can include a treadmill, but this can require commuting. Therefore, a home treadmill is best to get in shape and stay in shape.
Treadmills vary. A good choice to start is the highly rated Bowflex Series 7 treadmill.
Bowflex Series 7 - Highly Rated Foldable Treadmill
Another good treadmill is the Sole F80 treadmill. It costs $1,500 including shipping.
There are cheaper treadmills, but I would recommend the Series 7 or the F80 described above.
8 min pace = 7.5 mph
9 min pace = 6.66 mph
10 min pace = 6 mph
12 min pace = 5 mph
15 min pace = 4 mph (brisk walk)
20 min pace = 3 mph (slow walk)
