This one is more app...Yes, I have 2 posts tonight. This one is more appropriate to this blog rather than Thursday's blog. So I went to the gym tonight and got on the Evil Elliptical. Apparently, when I told you that I "loved" it, my body had not been on it in so long that within the first 3 MINUTES I was having a hard time breathing. So I finished 20 minutes with a 5 minute cool down and I must say, I'm not proud of my 14+ minute mile time. I'm pretty sure something was wrong with the machine b/c I remember doing 3 miles easy the last time I was on one. Machine #2: The "SWEARMASTER." I see these people casually doing the motorized stairs and am like ppsshhhh...I can do that. So I get on, which mind you was a challange for the short girl I am, and I start at level 5. Cruising, this is easy, level 7...OMG I'm supposed to do this for 10 min and it is lasting forever...level 5...what am I thinking...level 3...ok, now I see why the guy next to me is hunched over his swearmaster and looks like he's in slow motion trudging through sludge...level 5...I got this again...OMG only 5 minutes have passed?!?! Lessons learned from the swearmaster: (1) ALWAYS HOLD ONTO THE HANDLEBARS (2) yes, it feels like a treadmill in which you know there's an end behind you and you don't want to be the fool who slips and bashes their head on the machine (3) while you're thinking about not falling off the end of what feels like a giant MOUNTAIN, be mindful of where your foot is on the step b/c the front of your shoe WILL get eaten by the steps if you're too far forward (again, continue holding onto handlebars) (4) always a good idea to watch how others get off the machine. That's all and I just want to say that all of this is your fault but thank you for making me work out :)Lindseynoreply@blogger.com
