    FYI---this isn't my typical workout day!!! I've only just today started doing the elliptical in the morning and in the afternoon. In the morning, I'm at home doing a 30 min 400+ calorie routine. And in the afternoon, it's a specific routine. I also down mow the lawn or get on the recumbent bike everyday either!!!!

    Will the new challenge be in a new thread, or just continued on this one? I'd like to join in either way =).
