The Elliptical

Back at the beginning of April, I was afraid to use the elliptical. It looked like it kicked butt and I was afraid that I would look like a fool if I lost control of it. I tried it out when we were on vacation in the hotel gym. Only my husband and I were there and if I ended up hurting myself, I would never see those people again. My husband has seen me look foolish before so I was okay with that!
I was hooked right from the start. Today .... This is where the success comes in........ I was on the elliptical for 1 hour on levels 13 - 14 ( previously I had only lasted 40 minutes)
I am so proud of myself!

The great thing about it is if you have a bad back or bad knees it doesn't hurt them. I have a bad back the elliptical is the only workout I can do. I'm glad I found it!0

:smokin: WOW!! I am impressed! That is awesome! I have an eliptical that I work out on everyday. 30 minutes at intermittent levels up to 6 are the most I can do most days. I burn about 500 to 600 calories.
When I grow up I wanna be just like you! :bigsmile:
Great job!0 -

Mine is from Sears but I can't think of the brand right now; I'm at work. But you definitely want to buy a good one, they are expensive but worth it. Mine has an SD slot which I love because I can get various IFIT cards with different level work outs. It also has different work outs built in. They are awesome. It has all sorts of read outs and I love that it tells me how many calories I'm burning.
Good Luck!0 -

Lol, I have to agree....sometimes it's confusing if I don't look at the name of the person who's posting
Congrats on the elliptical. I love them and plan to get one at the end of next month or beginning of July. I've always heard that they burn more calories, too. I do know that they are easy on your joints!
Good luck to you and congrats!0 -
