Just had to post that I did the elliptical for 65 minutes today!! The longest I have ever done it! After I hit 40 minutes - I was inspired (or maybe it was the inauguration coverage?)... I need a HRM so I can know how many calories I really am burning! The elliptical said 525, MFP says 755... definitely I'm investing in a HRM now! This had convinced me that I can withstand anything.

    You are amazing!! I did it for 20 minutes just now and was exhausted - and I'm a 21 year old college student! Be proud of yourself!

    Great job! I did 40 today and had to move on to something else. I just get so bored. FYI,
    I have a polar f6 and I always burn LESS than the machine says I do...a good bit less. I find the difference b/t elliptical and my HRM greater than any other cardio machine in the gym.

    Oh bummer that you burn less. :( Awe well, still a good workout for me anyway - gets the heart pumping and the sweat flowing. :) I would get bored if it wasn't for the tv and my determination to be bathing suit decent.
