GETTING NOWHERE FAST

It was a cold rainy day yesterday, so I couldn't muster the will for an outside walk.  I resigned myself to a workout on the elliptical machine.  When I arrived upstairs in the fitness room the elliptical machine was already in use.  I jumped on the treadmill instead.  

This time I set the speed for 4.7mph and walked for 60 minutes, one solid hour.  When the session was over, the treadmill reported that I had indeed walked 4.7 miles.  I thought that the calories burned was a bit stingy - 587 calories.  Perhaps the other application that I use for my outdoor walks is a bit too generous.  As I have discussed many times before, I use the calories burned for 'entertainment' only.  One thing I know for sure is that one hour walking at 4.7mph without a break is a good workout.  I still find it more rewarding and fun to be outdoors when I can - but an indoor treadmill is a good replacement.  While I was walking I calculated that at 4.7mph I was generating 1200 steps every 10 minutes.  This is useful information if I am ever short on steps and short on time, I know now how much time it takes to generate steps.

4.7 miles travelled, 60 minutes, 587 calories burned

Back in January, the very first time I used a treadmill, I set the machine for 4mph for a grand total of 20 minutes.  There is a world of difference between that first workout and the workout I had yesterday.
