Senior needs help with my work outs.

Did you enjoy it, Mike?

Yes, it was ok. It took a little bit to get the speed set comfortable & I found I tended to take short steps at first, but finally found a good stride. My wife also worked out on it this afternoon. We’re going to see if we can get one second hands. They are pricey $3k new.

 

[Cate]

That is expensive.

That’s Canadian $, so about 25% lower in US $

Here’s my second workout on the Treadclimber. I walked steady 3.5 kph till my hr was 140 bpm, then increased speed to 5 kph to 155 bpm, then slowed again till 140 bpm.
We looked online locally and found a used Tc100 for $1200 can. Going to see it Saturday.

Sounds good. If you both like it that's a good investment.

Had another good session this morning on our daughter’s Treadclimber. This time steady pace (4kph) for 40 minutes then reduced for 5 min cool down.
We are definitely getting one of these.(It’s an 1.5 hr commute to keep using our daughters’ lol)

I had a chance to complete 3 workouts last week on our daughter’s Treadclimber. I also did comparison walks with Bella, at my best paces( about 10.5-11 min/ km) The Treadclimber does deliver a higher calorie rate. We’re now procuring one.

Enjoy the new toy! It'll definitely be helpful for bad weather.

 

[mddolson]

Hopefully we will pick up our new toy this weekend

I'm glad you think of it as fun. That's half the battle.

 

[mddolson]

We couldn’t pick up the treadclimber on the weekend due to scheduling conflicts with seller, but we now have 10:00 am appointment tomorrow (Wed) so we’re anxious to bring it home!

 

[Cate]

I love that you're so looking forward to getting it

 

[mddolson]

We got the Treadclimber home yesterday, had to partially disassemble it to get it down stairs. It’s up & running & we had our first work outs on it today.

 

[Llama]

Sounds good! And (dis)assembling it and bringing it into the house sounds like a little extra workout

 

[Cate]

What a workout! Do you plan on using it every day, Mike?

We’re supplementing our walking with it. We plan to alternate days, and definitely use it during questionable weather.

 

[Cate]

I thought that might be the plan.

 

[mddolson]

I thought that might be the plan.

Can’t give up our walks. Bella would be too upset with us!

I remember being kind of shocked when I first saw a doggy treadmill! (Of course there are rare cases when those make sense, but still...)
