So I joined a gym the second week in March. I go at least 3 times a week. I am always watching the timer on the bike or treadmill to make sure I do at least 30 minutes of cardio. I am counting down the seconds until I am done. I tried the elliptical once and lasted 4 minutes. I was so off balance and felt like I was going to fall off the machine!
Well today I decided to try again. I got on and went. I not only was able to do 30 minutes, but I enjoyed it! I actually enjoyed exercise! That is huge for me. It gives me motivation to go back again and again!

Keep it up. I put a towel on the display of the elliptical or treadmill to stop looking at the time. It helps me because I am also waiting for the time to be done LOL0
