Stride cycle

For a few days now I have been thinking about using some of our tax return for an elliptical. I have wanted a treadmill for about four years now but our house just doesn’t have room. So I started looking at ellipticals on-line. I found one at Academy that sounded really cool, and it was the price I was wanting to pay. However, when I got there they were sold out. I noticed they had one that was fifty dollars cheaper and could also be used like a stationary bike. I tried it out and loved it. I have never used one before so yesterday I took it pretty easy. I alternated between the elliptical/bike for twenty minutes at a resistance of one. I know, your thinking how lame. Like I said it is new to me and I am not in shape at all. Today I woke up feeling yucky but was dying to use my new toy. So I set the resistance for two and alternated every five minutes between the elliptical and bike for twenty minutes. I kept my speed over 10mph and manage to get in 4.46 miles. I was happy with my first official workout and hope that I shed some major pounds with my new workout equipment. :)
