    Thanks. I took a break on day 4. I did 20minutes. I don' know how to find the distance. I have a Nordictrack from Sears. I love this machine. Then, I did 25 minutes of Stepping Aerobics.

    Hello Elliptical Challengers---I agree--with Brandiberry77--WAY TO GO! We are on a roll!!!

    20 minutes
    138 cal
    .78 miles

    A WHOLE WEEK!!!

    Ilene--it's great you love your machine---that makes a difference~
    Welcome Alleycat~ and I love the challenge too, diztimetoshine.

    I can tell you---if you all were not doing it,too---I would have slacked off and let it go.

    day 6 check in: 60 minutes 3.65 miles and burned off 405 calories... I am feeling so good! I had no problem getting to the 45 min mark, but I have to admit I struggled through the last 15... I did have to chuckle; the gym owner was there, he told me he was going to have to give me a prize for making it there 6 days in a row... Can't wait to see the expression on in face when I go walking in tomorrow morning.... Enjoy your Saturday, ladies

    Same here. I've had mine for about a month now and only used it a few times. So sad. :sad: This is want I needed to get me motivated. :smile:

    I have to admit... I didn't make it to the gym today :cry: I got up, had a monster headache and realized that if I didn't get the laundry done that no one would have cloths for work. I did clean the house and took periodic walks with the dogs. I'll be back at it tomorrow :smile:

    Why the sad face? :smile:
    You are on fire!!! All the work you have done on the Ellip thus far is working its magic. Wait till you get on again---whether 5 or 50 minutes---the body knows and remembers!!

    Check in DAY 7: Hey, how cool to have a man in the challenge! Welcome MANdown!!!! I made it back to the elliptical, I will admit it wasn't my best day. I did however manage to increase the resistance level to 7. I went 40 minutes 1.89 miles and burned 330.

    I am just down in the dumps today... I had a dear friend pass unexpectedly yesterday. Then this morning I got on the scale and was up 2 lbs... Just in a funk...
  • I got in 2 miles today going got 10 more

    I am so sorry about your friend
    an unexpected passing is so upsetting---be very gentle with yourself today

    Day 7 check in: got to the early today! (pretty good for a non-morning kinda girl) I did the circuit training with weights today, and trust me I can feel the pain already :happy: Also was able to hop on the elliptical managed 40 minutes with the same resistance (7) logged 2.07 miles and 341 calories GONE! :bigsmile:

    I just purchased an elliptical trainer this weekend and it was delivered today -- so I would love to participate even though I'm a little late to the show.

    I'm used to a recumbent bike where you can cycle many miles inside 30 minutes -- so I'm a little concerned it takes so long to get a few miles on an elliptical. Yikes! Oh well, still very excited to own one. Seems like a great workout and I'm trying to get 10,000 steps a day with my fitbit (which was the initial goal).

    Does anyone know if there are logs for tracking our workouts on an elliptical (time / miles, etc.)?

    Best of luck!

    Day 10! Trying out some new settings. Did 30 min, 1800km at a resistance 5. Then setting 4 on the machine for 30min, 1800km. Good burn. Did it nice and early so I can take the kids on a nature scavenger hunt.

    heroyalslimne ~ nice burn!

    hmmm I think my elliptical may be giving me to many calories burned. In 30min at speed avg 60 tension avg 5 it says I burn up to 600 cal. Just weird

    Hi fellow elliptical junkies! I am new to this but think I could become a cross trainer junkie if my enthusiasm continues. Can I please join the challenge? Starting to build up slowly and plan to increase a minute a day. Hope to check in here and learn from you all. Recently purchased a York front drive. :-)

    Day 7... could have been better, but It sure is better than nothing. I actually wore "real" shoes last night (by real I mean cute heals) It's been 7 wks since I sprained my ankle.. 4 hrs with the shoes on, my ankle was screaming! Woke up with pain and swelling. Guess I'm back to the gym shoes... :cry: Anyways... I did't want to push it so I only did 20min and 1 mile. Hoping tomorrow will be better. I have to have a thyroid fine needle aspirate tomorrow after... Not looking forward to having that again.
