Yesterday I did half an hour on the treadmill at a sister gym that has newer equipment. Their treadmills have a speed interval program and I tried it. The program's okay. It lets you put in 2 speeds and you can toggle between the two speeds as you see fit and it gradually increases or decreases the speed until it reaches the target speed. Not too bad.

BUT

Ohmyword, their treadmills feel so HARD on my legs. I had to stop the intervals and switch to incline work because every foot strike was painful. Not sure what the difference is between their model of Life Fitness and my home gym's model but my home gym's got older machines and maybe it's the wear and tear that makes it feel 'softer' somehow. Not sure. Didn't like, though. Man, my legs hurt really bad after only a few one minute interval runs.

I think these machines are a little more accurate too. I had to work for my 207 calories and 1.85 miles. 35 minutes total.

I also hauled some boxes around throughout the day. Today will probably be similar.
