The elliptical

I go to the gym very often. Like everyday often. When I enter I feel lazy and for the most part I don't want to be there. But as I begin my journey to a better body on the elliptical, I feel empowered and immediatly energized.

One of my...most difficult workout machines is the elliptical. Mostly due to the fact that I smoke. An entire black and Mild a day. Bad habit, I know but we all have our self-medication to satisfy.

I spend 20 minutes the elliptical. This is consecutive, strenuous, and heart-tiring jogging at minimum 4.0 speed. I love it. I might be a glutton for the pain. Its extreme to me. I am not the type of person to run or even sweat. So anything that requires the two of me is out of the question. On the other hand, I love to exercise. Enough so that I find that I take the time to put in the extra effort of speed up during the last 5mins.

I keep going. Staring at the numbers, making sure that I maintain the 4.0 speed, checking my heart rate, and accelerating because I want to ensure I get those extra calories burned.

Some perks are the screens attached to the elliptical. I mean, my gym is top notch. We have TVs screens connected to our machines to make us forget that we are exercising by letting us watch our favorite cable TV shows. LOL

I think I'm a weirdo for writing an entry on my infatuation with the elliptical.
