Jasmine- An elliptical is like a cross between biking and walking, to me. Your body is standing but your legs are going in a bicycle type pattern. Very good for cardio and very good if you have touchy knees...no impact what so ever. Like getting the benifit of running without the impact. I love it.

Maybe my ellpitical breaking down was for the best. Joined a gym today. :woohoo: Very excited about it. Worked muscles my body forgot exsisted.

:welcome2: to all the newbies to the thread. Never too late to join, always too late to quit. Lets make this week count.

Jasmine - 28 miles impressive, I never thought about tracking miles. Although last year our office participated in a program where you walk across Texas. No, not really walking across Texas, but tracking our miles and adding them up to walk across Texas.

GetnHealthy - You are really liking the elliptical. It is my favorite too :spin:

I am so excited! I am getting a tredmill today!! My husband works for a Medical supply store (mainainence, delivery, sales, everything) and comes home with all of the stupid usless things people are getting rid of. (Well not all useless we are getting a 6 month old bed from the guest room of one his customers that has passed) But yesterday he was offered a tredmill, It works really well but the lady he is getting it from wants it out of her house he asked what she wanted for it and she said nothing! I am getting it for free! I guess it is ten years old but I cant wait, Now I have something to Add to my home "gym"!!! I guess the dining room table is outta here :)

I dont know if it is the working out or the losing weight, but my body is feeling better and exercises are easier. I just feel more in control of my body, physically. Less clumbsy, more aware of my surorundings...weird, but i like it, it feels good to not feel so physically sloppy.

Hello ladies I would like to join in here. My walking gets shoved aside in the summer months as I am so active with everything else. Burning calories with yard work ,hiking etc. But now I am ready to start up again so here I am.
Today I will begin my walking after work. I will log it on here later on. To get started I am going to do the 600 min. challenge. That will be a start in the right direction. Do we count doing walks into the office or just on one time deals like treadmill, walking outside etc. Just thought I would ask this is a great motivator I think.
CC

:welcome2: cacmsc - I'm only counting the minutes when I am actively exercising, but if you walk to work I would definetly count that.

Walked 20 minutes today.
