Tricks on the Treadmill

Maybe it's a good thing I had so much practice trying to go Up the Down escalator as a young thing. (See this posting.)  I only say this because I just now went to step on, and then across, my treadmill to adjust the window fan before resuming my workout only it was still  running a four minute mile. I went to set my foot onto that belt in the same placid way a character in a Norman Rockwell painting might step out onto his porch after supper, realizing too late that it was racing along  WHILE CRANKED UP TO YOUR BASIC MOUNTAIN-CLIMBING INCLINE – oops!Somehow I didn’t fall. My legs spun like the Roadrunner’s but I did not fall, even though I was running sideways and uphill, like this band does in the video below.Enjoy these four band-members dancing away to “Here It Goes Again,”  then check out this poor skinny waif of a girl 'lifting' in her shorts and sports bra with what appears to be a set of water wings inside the latter. “This is Part Two of My Forty Minutes workout” she says with a fetching accent and, well, the rest appears to just be eye candy for the boys.You have to just endure a 12-second commercial first - but then you can scroll further down  and have your dessert. :-)[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTAAsCNK7RA][youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo2hF5S0a8o]
