Check Your Settings

I’ve been trying to get the kids into running more, and try to get them in a little better shape. They’ve both put on a few pounds over the last few months with the cold and lack of movement, so I had them taking turns.

And apparently they’ve been minimizing the effort. I told my son to try 1.0 as the incline, not sure about my daughter, but for some reason I checked recently on the treadmill and it was down at 0. For a year I’ve been the only one using it most of the time, so I never check, but I had some easy workouts recently and now I know why.

Need to remember to check the path, the treadmill settings, anything you use when running if you’re sharing equipment. A lesson that I’d forgotten recently.
