Hi girls!
Fullsteam ahead- You are so Cute! OMG! I laughed so hard at your "Ice coffees"!!!!! That was sooo sweet! As for my Nordic track- It is pre elliptical! It is the good ole cross country ski machine. But I love it! Just about anything nordic track does is quality. As for my pedometer it is an omron walking style. My Mom got it on drugstore.com (type in Omron as a search it should be the top one on the results)for about $22. I love it too! It lets you input your stats (weight, and stride length) read out gives you steps walked, and how many were aerobic(you have to take 100steps/min or walk at least 10 min without stopping to rack up the aerobic steps) It also gives you miles walked, calories burned estimate, and it stores 7days of steps. I have had several pedometers, this is the only one I didn't destroy. It is definately a great buy and It is very accurate IMO. Good luck, on your elliptical, keep an eye on craigslist, you might find a gently used one for less. People start to ditch stuff they bought in January!
P.s. My Mom had no trouble with drugstore.com, and she says she has used it several times for different equipment purchases. ( hope that helps
)
Cake batter, WTG on your miles! I love to see the tickers move!!!!!!
As far as Nordic track envy, I will give you a little hint. I got 3 for $20/each at a local thrift store. It is not an elliptical, but I owned one of these "magic Machines" several years ago (when I lived In CA) It is a magic machine! I get a total body workout, and it is great on the waist. When I first started, I lost 11 inches in the 1st month!!!!!! That is magical!!!! LOL- funny I really only love it when I am not on it! I say ugly things to it while I am using it!
HEY, Terapet, and Ms Perception, have you ever tried pilates? I had a really great instructor at my last gym, and it was fantastic. I think it is yoga-like, definately good on the abs, and flexibility. I still do a lot of the positions, and stretches.
Yay! Jaqui- wtg on consistancy! You are rocking it!!!!!!
