You're going to end up loving the elliptical, I just know it. Soon, you'll be a glutton for punishment just like the rest of us, and getting up to an hour on that thing!

I'm lmao over here. My experiences with the hades invented thing was very similiar to yours. I still avoid it, swearing I'll try it one day. Instead I find I lean more towards outdoor running. Just to avoid the idiot machine sitting there staring at me.

I call it noodle legs. Once I when I got off of the elliptical I had to grab hold of a weight machine because my noodle legs couldn't keep me standing!

It gets better everyday that I go though. I can do 30-45 minutes now.

sorry but i really lol when i read this .. that was totally me the first time .. i did it for a minute then i stopped and knew i could go no longer .. i stood on the machine thinking my legs wouldn't allow me to get off and walk .. i managed but i felt totally weird walking .. i would of loved to see what i looked like walking across the gym .. lol it does get easier though .. i haven't been to the gym in a few weeks but the last time i went i made it up to 45 mins just pace yourself don't get on and move like your running a marathon start out slow

ROFLMAO.... I recognize the pink roadrunner... I think she is at my gym. I never thought of pushing her off...on accident of course! I always stick to the end of the rows. I hate when one gets on a equipment next to me. I sneak peaks at their level and try not to get depressed at how slow I feel like I'm going. But keep in mind... slow and steady wins the race... we can trip the roadrunner when she walks by...

Ok, you were right, I went back to the one that started all of this. It was actually EASIER,,,, and that is after 40 minutes on the treadmill. I still only lasted three minutes but I didn't feel as if I would need two of the muscle hunks to carry me to my car. Thanks for the encouragement, I will definitely do it again!
