it's raining... it's time for indoor treadmill workouts

So, I got 35 minutes on the wind trainer last night. I love that thing. It makes you sweat and you can just crank the gears down and get your heart rate up. However, I'm longing for a time on a treadmill... who knew I'd ever be saying that ?!?!?!

OK.. this is a walking one... I might try it in the next few weeks..
Target Your Glutes

To sculpt your glutes and burn a fast 150 calories, try this cardio hill-walking workout from Diana Maitland, personal training manager at Equinox Fitness Clubs in New York City. Do this workout three or four times a week to build strength and endurance.
