Fall from it.
Yes, that was the old one during Mario kart. The new one is much wider and longer. No falls yet!
I finally managed to make it into week two of the Couch to 5k program.
I kept starting, then stalling out in week one so I would start over. I actually have made it through to Run 6 so far.
Awesome. My daughter ran one for where she worked and I joined. It was better to do it in a group. Where are you located?
I'm really putting a lot of hope into the elliptical working out well for me, as I get winded really quick if I'm doing anything other than moving heavy stuff around. I want to lose about 25 lbs, 30-35 would be great. I'm 6'4" and weighed in yesterday at 276. I'd love to at least get to the point where I can hike trails in GSMNP in relative comfort.
The elliptical machines intrigue me. I really don't like running, so when I'm not on the treadmill I usually ride the exercise bike but I find it much harder to get my heart rate up as high on the bike.
I've tried the elliptical machine a few times, but hasn't been able to get into a good rhythm on it yet.
Like you I need to drop at least 30 pounds. I'm 6'2" 260. I thought it was bad when I hit 250, hitting 260 was a real wake up call. My clothes are starting to get small and I'm not buying a new wardrobe unless it's because I drop the weight and they've gotten too big.
My first day on the elliptical I did all of 4 minutes! That was with the machine set at lowest resistance, and lowest incline level That thing is a beast. Second day I got 5 minute.... I'm hoping to build my time on the elliptical up to at least 15-20 minutes, but it's gonna take awhile.
Quick question about myfitnesspal. If you use the built in step counter, and it gives you credit for steps, do you still enter in under cardio exercise when you go on long walks? I get the whole step counting thing, but there's a big difference between the steps I take at work and a faster walk for exercise.
