35:00 Run [TIU]

Happy Thanksgiving week! I'm so excited! But kind of apprehensive -- I have so.much.things to do, and very little time to do it in. It seems like that's always the case before I go out of town -- all of a sudden there's laundry everywhere, I have no clean clothes to pack, my fridge is magically full of food that needs to be consumed (zeus knows this never happens unless I have to leave...) and my social calendar is unusually full. Plus I have to fit in the gym! So it looks like for the next couple days my workouts are going to be a bit shorter than usual, but I have Big Plans to make up for it when I get home to my beloved Lifetime. Kickboxing, Zumba, the lap pool... I might just live there for the 5 days of Thanksgiving...

This workout is based on the ToneItUp fat burning treadmill workout I did last week, but I changed the intervals to make it easier to remember. And hopefully a little harder.

Comments
This workout started poorly and ended about the same way. The first treadmill I got on was one of those super intense incline ones -- the one that'll take you up to like 30 degrees if you push the right button. Except this one was possessed. I asked it for 9 degrees and it put me up higher than the girl next to me, who was doing 14. WTH, treadmill? I tried flattening it out and trying again, but every time I pushed a button it just seemed to add that incline to whatever I currently had.

Eventually I gave up and went to a normal treadmill, at which point I did a paltry 3 miles. 3. Miles. That barely counts as having worked out today. Maybe I get extra points for higher incline? Sorta not really... I'm not even quite sure the non-incline-intense treadmill knew what 7 degrees where. I wouldn't be surprised to find out it only changed like 2 degrees. Our equipment isn't the best, if you missed that part... sigh. My original plan was to pair this shortie cardio workout with some booty moves, but the gym was so.full I couldn't find any out of the way floorspace to thurst. Clearly I'm not doing that shiz in the middle of the room, so... I left instead. I should probably stop letting the fullness of the gym dictate hoe my workouts go though - it's not like any of these people are going anywhere for the next few months, and it's definitely going to get worse at the new year. My other option is to be more disciplined about finishing my workouts when I get home. Perhaps I can convince boyfriend to clean out his man cave in the spare bedroom over the holiday so I can lift in peace in there...

At least I got dinner done and some laundry folded. Little victories!
