Finished week 8 today in the gym on a treadmill, I'm away with work staying in a fairly industrial areA so I thought this was the best option. I found it really boring I must say, I added a couple of minutes to compensate as it's not the same as being outdoors...but on the plus side they had a power plate, lovely massage and stretches for my legs. Onwards to week 9 I go, I've been having two days rest for my old legs and that seems to work for me. Good luck everyone x
