I actually am incredibly clumsy and my fear is falling on my face. haha. That's good that you are increasing your work out. We have to avoid allowing our bodies to get comfortable at a certain pace and then plateau in our exercise. I started around the same speed as you in Feb and I now can go up to 4.0-4.2ish. (in 30 sec-60 sec increments). I typically start at 3.2 for 5 min (warm-up) and then I raise the speed by .1 and the incline by .5 every minute until I reach 20 minutes. If I'm not dead by then, I continue the workout in reverse going down .5 incline and .1 speed every minute. It's brutal, but the feeling you get afterwards is highly rewarding. Keep up the good work girl.Meshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369633273834498488noreply@blogger.com
