Okay so im overweight and my parents have an elliptical at their house but whenever i use it i can only go for like 3 mins and i feel exhausted i jump rope too but doing that i also feel really tired.... Do any of you get that the first few days you started? If you do what do you usually do to keep you going? And im aiming to lose around 22kg how long do you guys think it will take?? Thanks:happy:

    so today you use it for 3 minutes... tomorrow you use it for 3 and a half... the next day you use it for 4 minutes...

    you should be aiming for a pound or 0.5kg a week...

    progression is key
    add another 30secs to 1min after your 1st set

    try to aim 5sets of 5min with 3min rest in between sets

    22kg could take 3-6 months depending on your diet , exercise and your willingness to lose the weight.

    ^this. The first time I went out for a run at university I managed 2 minutes before I got a stitch and had to quit. I can now run a 5k in just under 20 minutes and I've completed two marathons. You can do anything you set your mind to - but you have to have a little patience :smile: stick at it and the results will come!

    I don't think youre too lazy or too tired its a stamina thing, when you start anything you aren't brilliant but the key is to not give up and push yourself even 3 minutes is better than no minutes so try 3 minutes and then maybe do that 2 times a day and then tomorrow try it 3 times a day and once that's manageable you increase the minutes to 4 twice a day and then 3 times a day and aim for 10 minutes 3 times a day one you can do that that's 30 mins a day broken up and try and get it so you can do a 30 min burst and then go from there, it will take time and motivation but you deffo can do it
