Week 9

*** I filmed this weeks workout using the time lapse setting on my phone whereas the last few weeks ive been filming my workouts with my laptop. The time lapse setting on my phone speeds up an hour long video faster than my laptop does that’s why this video is much shorter than my previously uploaded videos.***

This week I decided to workout at a gym. My workout was pretty simple as it only consisted of using a treadmill. First I warmed up by walking at a speed of 2 mph on an incline of 12 for 10 minutes. Then I increased the speed to 3 mph and and lowered the incline to 2 and stayed like this for 5 minutes. To continue, I changed the speed to 4.5 mph and ran on an incline of 2 for 15 minutes. I then increased the incline to 8 and lowered the speed to 3 and walked for 10 minutes. From there, I once again ran at 4.5 mph on an incline of 2 for another 15 minutes. Lastly, I cooled down by walking at a speed of 2.5 mph on 0 incline for 5 minutes.
