so glad to have a gym so close to home... I did 20 min on the elliptical, 20 on the treadmill and 30 min weight training... I'm pooped.0

Yesterday was an unscheduled rest day because my hips were sore (suspect the Walking on the basement cement floor was the culprit) So I doubled up the shock-absorbing mat for that part, and also took all tension off The Beast.
With no tension, which really let the speed fly, I managed 1.43 miles in 30 mins. But it was easier on the hip joints, so I will leave the setting like that while I work on sneaking my endurance ever closer to the 2 miles in 30 mins .....
(Or is the Suggested Beginner Target 2 miles OR 30 mins? :ohwell: I will have to go check that.0 -
============
Fun Fact 1: After the stint on the home Elliptical (and also on the "elliptical rest days"), I use my Wii Walk It Out game for some extra Milage (does not count towards THIS Challenge milage) and create a rainbow every day. I will post the "Rainbow Calandar" at the end of each month, to show that I did them.
Fun Fact 2: For scenery that looks more interesting than my rec room walls (and so I don't have to monitor timing), I start up the Wii Fit Plus "Free Run - 30 minutes", stick the controller in my back pocket, and "run around The Island" via the elliptical.
===========
Ya know .... with the tension dialed way down, or practically off .... I MIGHT be able to match the slow to mid song tempos in Walk It Out (required for forward movement in the game) while on the elliptical ... which would mean I can ellipticise to more variable scrolling landscape AND make rainbows at the same time.
I'll have to test this out ....0 -

I'm finally getting around to my goals (which I'm not very good at)
Weight: 214 :sad:
days on the elliptical: 20
weight loss: 1 lb per week.
Diet: to follow the Eating plan the dietitian gave me & to drink 6 glasses of water a day0 -
:ohwell: I'm not quite sure how it happened ... but here are today's totals
Two session (one before and one after supper) both at a pace of ~118-120 bpm --- which complies with the "70% of (226-age) formula ....
Ell #1 5.2 laps (1.3 miles) / 32 mins
Ell #2 8.5 laps (2.13 miles) / 53 mins
Combined Total: 13.7 laps (3.43 miles) / 85 mins.
If a family commitment hadn't been on the books, I could probably have easily handled a 3rd set of at least 30 mins at the same pace.
Maybe slower IS better overall :huh:0 -
Yesterday did 60 minutes of elliptical. Today another 60 minutes for 4.67 miles, almost to 5 the first 32 minutes were the weight loss program so half the time at 1 resistance and half at 10. Then another 28 minutes with 5 resistance. Good workout and I was almost going to skip but told myself to get up and go.0
