Lost 10 lbs. and gained a broken elliptical!
 
So I officially have lost 10 lbs as of this morning, which was incredible. However, my elliptical (my saving grace in this journey so far) broke last night. I have been burning an average of 1,000 calories a day on this thing and I'm afraid I will get way off track while it is out of service.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to what kind of active thing or exercise I can do until it gets fixed? I like the fact that it shows me how many calories I have burned, and I'm worried I won't burn as many not knowing where I am at.
What kind of things do you guys do in the comfort of your own home?
:shrug:

Thanks for any advice!

Jump rope. Burns lots of cals. Also cherry pickers (this is what the military calls them dont know if there is another name) Start out in a standing position Jump up as high as you can then squat like a frog. All 4 limbs on the ground push yourself back into the pushup position. Return to the frog position then jump up from there. Sounds silly but man is it a good work out. Good luck with your elliptical

Congratulations on the 10 pounds! If you are in a position to go outside you could go for fast walks, that is great exercise!
