treadmill workout

carolinagirl553 Posts: 1 Joined: 2004/11/28	2004/11/28, 11:33 PM I recently bought a treadmill for home use. My main goal in purchasing the equipment is weight loss and toning. I was wondering what a good routine each day would be to achieve these goals. Thank You

Cardio will definately help you in the endurance and weight loss, but not knowing anything about you, it is hard to give the right info.

I would add dumbbells next I got a set that is adjustable & I think that is the best thing I every brought - jumprope is another good cardio for mixing it up some -------------- Reddy All people smile in the same language

You wil be progressing in no time. Include intervals. Hope this helps. -------------- If you can dream it, if you can imagine it, then you can be it, you can do it.
