It’s a Treadmill that Hooks Up to Your iPhone!

Okay, I may be a little behind on this, but I think it’s really cool. The new gym has treadmills that…….woop, quick diversion…yes...I am wayyy behind on this..2007? Really?…..you plug your ipod/iphone into. While this isn’t exactly startling new technology, I found it to be new to me. What’s better is you can play videos on your iPhone through the touch screen interface. Goodbye boredom!

The wife has an affinity for TV shows on iTunes. So thanks to iTunes home sharing I am currently transferring every TV show she has ever downloaded to my iTunes account which I’ll load onto my iPhone when I get home. From there I’ll have a stock pile of days of shows to watch while working out. And don’t forget video podcasts. This is going to be very cool.

I was at the hospital until 8:15 on Tuesday and had to be there at 7:00 am yesterday morning so I bagged the Tuesday evening and Wed. morning workout.

I was back on the treadmill yesterday afternoon for a 31 minute workout.

5 Minutes – 4* Incline @ 3.4mph

16 Minutes – 8* Incline @ 3.6mph

5 Minutes – 12* Incline @ 3.5mph

5 Minutes – 4* Incline @ 3.4mph

Then again this morning..

5 Minutes – 4* Incline @ 3.4mph

17 Minutes – 8* Incline @ 3.6mph

5 Minutes – 12* Incline @ 3.5mph

5 Minutes – 4* Incline @ 3.4mph

I’ll continue adding a minute to that 8* portion of the workout until I get to 30 minutes. From there I’ll be where I want to from a cardio and joint standpoint to start running again.
Plan is for weights this afternoon!

About Grant

Hi, my name is Grant. I did a few triathlons in 2007. Then I stopped. Now I'm 30 and I've gained about 25 pounds. Since I can't drop 25 years, I'll drop 25 pounds this year and try to complete a few triathlons along the way.
