Wow, 40 minutes at a 2.0 incline and no leg numbness! I had a tiny bit of sciatic pain, but a little bit of mid-walking stretching helped. I basically hold on to the side bars and raise my upper body "off my hips"..it seems to pop my lower back some and relieve the pressure.
I also did a lot more on the machines. I can really tell my endurance is increasing! I do pulse checks on the treadmill as I walk and my heart rate has gone way down doing the same intensity as when I first started exercising almost 3 weeks ago.
I think exercising has finally become something I enjoy!

I can totally relate! That is the exact same reason I prefer treadmill to walking outside. I can relieve some pressure using the rails if I need to & keep walking. Isn't it exciting to be motivated to do something you never used to picture yourself doing?? Like right now, I wish it was morning so it would be time to go to the gym, lol. However, my body likes me better when I keep the exercise to once a day. :D DO YA THING GIRL!!!
