Stepmill

So about halfway through my goal of 60 minutes on the stepmill I was bored out of my mind! I had forgotten my iPhone and my iShuffle, and my iPod (which I did have with me) was dead and in need of charging. No music, no movies, and I had reached my limit of my attention span for the magazine I had with me. Had to change it up, so here is what I did, if anyone is looking for a way to get through some stepmill work. (Take note that I wasn't sure how much my knee was going to be able to handle as it has been inflamed for the past couple days so I was truly ad libbing this... this is about average levels for me  - in other words if you are in good shape it will get the sweat going, but it is an off season cardio not a killer - so adjust as needed for fitness level/goals)
First do 500 -1000 steps at level 15
Then bring the Level to 7 and get the HR back down and then stay there for a minute or two then go into intervals
1 min Level 8
1 min Level 7
1 min Level 9
1 min Level 7
1 min Level 10
1 min Level 7
1 min Level 11
1 min Level 7
1 min Level 12
1 min Level 7
1 min Level 13
1 min Level 7
1 min Level 14
1 min Level 7
1 min Level 15
1 min Level 14
1 min Level 13
1 min Level 12
1 min Level 11
1 min Level 10
1 min Level 9
1 min Level 8
