It's one of the reasons I have avoided the treadmills, but you have to start from somewhere and 3 miles is better than 1 or even 2. I moved on to a heavier set of dumbbells too. You can feel them more and you can see my skinny arms doing the work with veins popping out all over the place. Would like to lift the bar weight, but I am still too shy to go anywhere near that. Sometimes I wish there was an instructor there to teach me about form and technique. Kind of on your own in there.
Batman how is your gym work going? What kind of routine are you doing in there? As a fellow beginner it might be good to share ideas as I don't really have a clue half the time. Just seem to do a bit on each of the machines, do the dumbells and now brave enough to go on the treadmill. Was in there 90 minutes today! Usually do just 30-40 minutes of weights, but the treadmill takes up time.
