maybe he slipped a decimal point - 0.110 miles at 2.4mph?
The console on the treadmill displays the number 24 prominently. I just came back from the gym and can confirm it is 24 MINUTES/MILE speed.
I have tried going faster but that causes feet start hurting after a while. The whole trick to exercise routine is...
build up gradually, do not exceed what your body can handle comfortably, and most important do not miss more than 2 days in a week. Especially when starting out, do exercise every other day to get the body accustomed.
It is shocking how well even a 80 year body adapts to exercise. The benefits are enormous. I wish all Freepers would get on a regular exercise program. We will all have a better shot at living WITHOUT PAIN and without many medications.
