bought an elliptical today.....

cool! I used to have a recumbent bike and would literally roll out of bed and onto that thing for 30 minutes of fasted cardio. I believe it helped a lot with my fat loss, and it was a great waker-upper!!

You took the most important step (you signed on). Keeping track of what you eat, and how much exercise you do (which by the way, allows you to eat more. It's called "eating back") is a great way to keep you in line. Good luck to you. If you have any questions ( I know some things, but I am not all knowing) just hit me up. I love to exercise (horses are my passion), and I love to manipulate my calories. I will literally spend an extra hour on my horse, or walk to my neighbor's hours (a half a mile away) just so I can eat a better dinner. I use my phone, my computer, and my Ipad, to keep track of all I do and eat, and I lose weight. 10 years ago that was not possible. I was getting by by using a pen and a pad, and then transcribing to my computer spreadsheet at night. It was a lot of work, and I had a hard time keeping the weight off. This site will really help you, use it every day, and I promise the pounds will start melting right offffffff

It's the best exercise tool I ever bought. I don't know where I'd be with out it. It saves having to run to the gym. I listen to the radio. When I'm on it for30 minutes. Been using it faithfully again since May and have lost about 14 lbs.

Bought an elliptical today and plan on using it every day

Good luck...I bought a total gym and love it


You lucky girls!! My 2 favourite exercise machines. Waffling between which one I really want here at home; think I will probably end up with an elliptical due to space constraints. Keep up the good work!!:happy:

Yeah! I love my elliptical. I started with 30 minutes and am now up to 60 minutes! Good Luck!

My boss told me once that most recumbent bikes have just 20 minutes use on them after i bought one. I said that mine would have at least 2 hours on it by the first week as i was going to do 30 minutes every night.

For the first 2 weeks it didn't do more than 20 minutes.

That was a month ago. Now it's averaging 1 hour per week and will probably increase.

I've found the secret to starting off on anything is little and often as opposed to hell for leather right away. Trying to get 30 minutes in every day will end in disappointment as it only takes a bad day or a chore than needs done to skew your timetable and before you know it the bike has only done 20 minutes.

Now i plan it by doing an hour to an hour and a half in a week. This could be all in one day or spread out over the week. It works for me as theres no pressure to get on it before a tv show comes on and i feel that i look forward to my next session instead.

I was running on the treadmill at the gym (at work) and thinking to Self, "I know that if I buy an elliptical machine for home, I would use it every single day. Hmmmm..... maybe I should."

I love my home workouts! Enjoy yours... cheers!

I turned a spare bedroom into a "gym". I have a treadmill, elliptical and ab lounger there. Saves a lot of time over going into town to the gym and much cheaper.
