NSV- walking

I don't have a treadmill, so I walk in place. So I can't exactly force myself to walk farther (because I don't know what farther would be)... I have an HRM.

I use to walk until I burned 300 calories & didn't take me very long. Now it takes me forever. Which is a good thing. Because that means I'm more in shape than I use to be! Although I do wish it didn't take me as long to burn the calories. =P

Now I walk until I burn 500 calories so that's twice as much work.

    awesome. I started walking in place then I started to just walking outside for about 40 mintues. Now i'm starting to jog in place for about 20 mintues. I don't have a hmr but i sweat like hooker in church. by the way i hate jogging in place around people so i do it in the bathroom.

    LOL You're HILARIOUS!! I love it!! ;)

    @ the OP... When I had TV, I used to walk in place during commercial breaks. Then I alternated to during the show and resting during the commercials. It was definitely a workout! ;)

    I watch Netflix tv shows, so no commercials. Some of them are so addicting that it's just one episode after another and then another... lol... Especially when it says "to be continued" at the end of it. So I walk while I'm watching it.... Now when I'm done finishing the 500 calories i sit on the couch and watch tv and feel guilty for not walking =P

    I've been considering getting Netflix again, just for the workout videos they have on there...but I'm just too stingy to fork out the dough! LOL

    It's cheaper to get Netflix (ONLY instant) & then get redbox when you want it.
    Otherwise you have Netflix with movies, and then you have to wait forever just to get the new releases because there's a "very long wait"
