Some people don’t enjoy the monotony of running in place, so try to vary your routine. These ideas may help you keep some spice in your life!

Watching TV: If you like to watch television while you work out, try varying your workout with your programming. Take your pace up to a run for commercials, and jog or walk briskly during your shows.

Mimic Hiking: If you are pining for the great outdoors, let your treadmill take you on a hike! Some treadmills have pre-programmed hiking trails, or you can control the incline yourself. Remember to discuss your maximum heart rate with your womens healthcare provider for safety reasons.

Double Up!: If you only have time for a quick workout, bring some dumbbells with you on your walk! The number of different arm exercises you can do while walking is vast!
