Question

I am quite unfit unfit atm an never normally go on it but surely if im a beginner who never normally exercises that cant be right that iv done 5 km in 8 minutes when i was only abit out of breath ? Also if its broken how can i tell whether I will be getting fitter each time i use it?

Answer 1

If the gradient is 0,  your speed is 37.5 km/h, which is not unusual for somebody even unfit for such a short period of time.

Keep up the good work.

P.S. when you will cover 5 km in 7 minutes increase the gradually the gradient.

The greater the gradient the fitter you have become.
