On June 17, the day after I turned 50, I step onto an elliptical and treadmill for the very first time in my life ever. When I first started on the elliptical, I could only do 5-6 mins at a time before having to take a 1 minute break. It was hard.Today, 4 weeks later, I did 60 minutes on that devil machine non-stop. Now that is a NSV for me! :drinker:

    Way to go!! The first time I got on an elliptical was early 2008 I believe and I could only do a minute or two at a time at first. So you already had me beat there. Even now I have to really push myself to stay on there for long periods of time just because it becomes so tedious. Excellent job! It's a good feeling. :happy:

    I do elliptical during the week when I am away from home, time draaaagggggs. At my home I have a Nordic Track and I do intervals with it, one or two minutes hard with arms and then one minute with just skiing. Time goes so much faster when I do this compared to anything I have tried on the elliptical.

    I could only do 5 min before and now for the past 2 days I have been doing 10 min. It;s not 60 but a small step towards it. GREAT JOB!!!

    AWESOME!!! I love the elliptical. I curse its existence and its invention whenever I'm on it, but GOD I love how I feel after conquering it! =)
