itread recommendations

[berry99]

I have recently got into these itrain workouts and have only used various iclimb workouts on the elliptical trainer. Well, I took the plunge and ordered an itread (#2, 40min) workout for the treadmill.

I really dislike treadmills, but I thought I would give it a try and the 40 min went by so fast! I actually added on 10 more min and that never happens.

So, if you guys use the itread programs do you have any recommendations? Also, do you know of a specific itread that is mostly sprints with minimal hill work?

TIA,

Karin

Hi Karin!

What is in the Itread you have? I'd like to purchase another one but don't know which one to choose!}(

I have Itread # 3/40 mins. It's mostly flat land endurance just so you know. Very few and very small "hills" w/changing of speeds but if I recall correctly there is no all out sprinting in it.

I also have Itread # 1/20 mins. This one has one BIG hill and several full-on sprints mixed with some other stuff. It's short but SUPER powerful! It kicked my butt!}(

Wendy, the itread3 (40 min) sounds like something that I might be looking for. I am going to visit the in laws and my parents and they both have treadmills, but don't have an incline feature.

The itread 2 (40 min) has sprints the last half of the workout and hills the first half. I can't remember exactly but she has you on a 5% incline for 2 min and then descend the hill for 2 min and repeats this a few times. Then you do a 9% hill too. It was really good. I liked it.
