A lot of people ask me what I do at the gym. My short answer is babe-watch. My long answer is…boring. I realize I need to be better about posting what I’m doing in the gym because I promise I’m not really goofing off the entire time. Interval workouts are my favorite while on the treadmill because you won’t get as bored and the recovery is just long enough to lower your heart rate to rev you for the next interval. Here is what I did this morning.
On the treadmill:
| Minute: | Speed (m.p.h.) | |
| 0-5:00 | 4.0 | warm-up |
| 5:00-8:00 | 6.0 | run |
| 8:00-9:00 | 7.0 | sprint |
| 9:00-12:00 | 6.0 | run |
| 12:00-13:00 | 7.5 | sprint |
| 13:00-16:00 | 6.0 | run |
| 16:00-17:00 | 7.0 | sprint |
| 17:00-20:00 | 6.0 | run |
| 20:00-21:00 | 7.5 | sprint |
| 21:00-24:00 | 6.0 | run |
| 24:00-25:00 | 7.0 | sprint |
| 25:00-28:00 | 6.0 | run |
| 28:00-29:00 | 7.5 | sprint |
| 29:00-32:00 | 6.0 | run |
| 32:00-33:00 | 7.0 | sprint |
| 33:00-36:00 | 6.0 | run |
| 36:00-41:00 | 4.0 | cool-down |
| 41:00-43:00 | 3.5 | optional cool-down |
Here is my thought process throughout the 43 minutes. I have a.d.d.
Minute 0-5: Ok whennnnnn can I run? This is boring.
Minute 6: YES, go go go!
Minute 9: Ugh, there is nothing good on t.v. I’ll watch the crisis in Egypt. Holy crap, is somebody running with a computer?
Minute 13: I feel hot.
Minute 19: That would be sweat dripping down my cheek.
Minute 21: Tooooo much clothing on.
Minute 32: Where the crap is minute 36? I’m ready to walk.
Minute 39: This treadmill has FANS?
I seriously had no idea the treadmill had fans until I had only a couple minutes left. That would have been really nice…I was so freaking hot, but happy with my results.
After I got home, I made a refreshing drink using a Yoplait frozen smoothie pack. I received a free smoothie pack from Yoplait courtesy MyBlogSpark. 
In the blender:
- 1 Yoplait Blueberry pomegranate smoothie pack

- 8 oz. Greek yogurt
Blend for 1-1/2 minutes. Makes two servings.
