Because it's the first of a new year, and most people make resolutions, I've decided that I'll keep going with my personal challenge once a month. Since I know that I need to work on a few things, I tried to incorporate that into my challenge. I'm challenging myself to do at least 15 minutes on the treadmill on the Fat Burn setting, which utilizes some incline.
My goal will have several points to it. First, I'm trying to reduce my cholesterol, which won't be tested until May. My doc has given me that long to control it with diet and exercise. This challenge will help. Second, I'm trying to reduce my Resting Heart Rate via my FitBit. I used to be in the low 60s, but it's increased over time, and was 71 twice last week. Not so good. Again, to doc wants me to keep my blood pressure in check, so this challenge will help with that too. And thirdly, I'll count it as an added bonus if I lose a couple of pounds as well.
In order to reach these goals, I know that I'll have to also make incremental changes on the treadmill settings by increasing speed, or a longer duration.
I'm not sure I can complete this challenge with the goals I'm setting for myself, but I'm going to give it my best shot!
