I fit programs

[acatalina]

Ok, which is good to start out on.
My tradmill is compatable.
I have reviewed them, but haste to waste money on them if not good.
I am looking for interval running now, to get started,
Last night i did 45 min total, Ran 5min walk 4.0 for 3 . It goes faster . The calves have to build up. Not sore today, but i feel drained in the legs. I really stretched out, hopped in jacussi tub and used the biofreeze so i wouldn't go through last week again.
Would you reccomend getting the ipod version (I would have to buy one). It looks like i would need a 10 foot video cable to hook up to stereo. Wooooow.Does the ifit run your treadmill for you?

Goal is an eventual 45 minute run at at least 6mph
Then outdoors if we ever get warm weather.
Thanks,
Anne

I use a program called i2workout for my ifit compatible treadmill. You can use this program for any ifit compatible equipment.

I use ifit as a template to create my own workouts. I create and save different programs based on my mood and needs. I hook my laptop up to the treadmill, open i2workout, select the program and get going.

It's $29.95, but you can try it out for 30 days.

I don't have one in the basement

With ifit you do need to be online for the duration of your workout. With i2workout its a program that you download, install, create programs and use. With i2workout you do need to run the program from a computer (no internet connection needed) for the duration of the workout.

If there's no computer in the basement or portable laptop your only other option is to purchase the cd's that can be played on a cd player.

I have a lot of the ifit CD workouts and yes, when they are hooked up to your stereo and treadmill they do run the treadmill. I've had a few problems with mine occasionally not changing the incline or speed when it's supposed to and when that happens I do it manually, then usually at the next change it will work. I've got a lot of different walk/run workouts anywhere from 3.5 mph to 6 mph. They have them for all different levels. I've got some country mixes, some latin, some rock, etc. I enjoy them far more than Cardio Coach.
