In my endless endeavor to not get chunky around the middle, I'm always looking for new things to do at the gym. It's not that I want to look like Helen Gurley Brown who died at age 90 weighing the same 100 pounds she weighed her whole adult life and looking like a cadaver the last ten years. I was never a Cosmo Girl. But I do want to stay active and healthy. My friend started using the Elliptical after her doctor suggested it. She's getting great results but it's a real torture machine. It's also deceptive. It looks like fun. And it feels like fun for the first 30 - 40 seconds. Then it's murder.
Last time I talked with my friend she was up to 45 minutes on the Elliptical - and she'd lost weight. I started a couple of weeks ago and am up to six minutes.
Don't know if it's working yet but it burns calories like crazy so that's motivating.
