I have always thought of the elliptical as the skinny girls machine. It was always so difficult to do and I hated it. When I went to Golden Door, I used it and I liked it and built up a bit of endurance.
When the Pookeys and I went to the St Kilda gym, I was up to 30 minutes. I would occassionally do 35-45 minutes.
That was before the knee surgery and the fact that I have no muscle left in my legs.
I got here and jumped on the #$%^&*& elliptical machine and I swear, I could only do 20 SECONDS! I physically could not go any further. During class the other day, I did 2 minutes. Today, I did over 7 minutes.
My goal is now 45 minutes and this is why I now have the elliptical count on the side bar. I will be kicking elliptical ass!
You can do it! That number will hit 45 before you know it!
ReplyDeleteFantastic new feature to show the elliptical "best time"! Is that smiling photo before or after a workout? :) I predict that as you time increases, you'll cross over the point where your desire for a longer time will exceed your hatred for doing it in the first place. Looking forward to tracking the progress toward 45 mins...
ReplyDeleteI hate the Elliptical Machine too! But you will soon learn to love it.
