    That was better than me! The elliptical is NOT my friend!! :grumble:

    Good job. Next thing you know, you'll be on there for 45 mins laughing at the 'old' you. Keep it up!!

    Maybe, just maaaybe, I'll hop on for a few minutes (literally!!), you've inspired me. :bigsmile:

    The elliptical...ugh! I went to the gym twice to use it...the gym was closed. I made it to be the Holy Grail of exercise equipment in my head for a week until I finally could get on one. I had NO idea how rough it is! LOL One of my mini goals is to stay on one for 10 minutes.
