Elliptical Machine
So I have this elliptical machine in my house that I use for 30-35 minutes/ 4-5 days a week. I find that if you don't use the poles and instead bend your arms and swing them like you're running or incorporate some punching moves that it doesn't feel so repetitious. However, the number of calories that the machine says is…

Too many squats?
Hi, I was just wandering why people say that high reps are bad.

Is this bad and why? I was thinking maybe I might need some…
