I think it’s time to use the Elliptical Machine again

by

I think it was about four years ago when I bought my elliptical machine. I used it for a while when I first got it, but I started to feel ill (I’m home with a chronic illness) and I had to stop using it for a while. Unfortunately … a while stretched into several years and here I am just getting around to thinking about using it again.

Funny how time flies isn’t it?

The machine is up in one of our spare bedrooms and it’s a big heavy thing. I had to haul it into the right position just so I could use it again. Then … I couldn’t remember just exactly what all the buttons and knobs were for so I went searching for the manual. Luckily I do keep most of the instructions of gadgets and machinery that we buy in one place so it was fairly easy to find. Now I just have to find a few minutes to sit down with the manual so I can learn more about how to use the elliptical to my best advantage.

Actually if I can find some time tomorrow to read the manual again then maybe I can start using the elliptical on Monday … you know, start at the beginning of the week. Even if I only use it two or three times a week that will be better that what I’ve been doing!

Do you have an Elliptical machine or other exercise equipment in your house that you really haven’t been using?

Trying to get motivated again

by

Do you remember the posts I was writing in the Autumn about how I was losing weight quickly? How it was because of a new migraine medication that I was taking? Well … something strange started happening with my body in November and early December and I started gaining the weight that I’d lost back again.

I’m at a loss as to what to do. I’d love to lose the weight again. It was so nice! Maybe I should start reading lipozene review or something? Actually I do have an elliptical machine and I’ve been thinking of pulling it out and starting to use it again. I’ve been really tired lately so finding the energy to do this might be difficult but I’ve got to try.

I’ll keep you posted as to how the weight lose goes.

I need to start a new fitness routine

by

Every time I look over at our TV stand I see our Wii. I hate to admit it, but I haven’t used my Wii in ages!

I think it’s been four or five months since I played a game or did a cardio workout on my Wii.

Later this evening I’m going to make up a mini workout schedule. I’m still sick (Crohn’s, Migraines, back pain) so I can’t get too ambitious, but I know that if I continue to not do anything I’ll probably feel worse and worse.

So … if I at least make a plan to get out and take a long walk, with the dog, at least twice a week, and to pull out the Wii and do one or two of my favorite workouts like the Gold Gyms Cardio Boxing twice a week as well I’ll be on my way to better health. At the very least I won’t feel compelled to research belly fat burners because four low level to medium level workouts a week should at least maintain my weight if not take off a few pounds. Certainly it should tone my muscles.

I also have an elliptical machine upstairs in a spare bedroom gathering dust. Actually my husband currently has two of his guitars resting on it right now. If I can start doing some workouts – hopefully beginning this week, maybe, by the time the bad weather arrives in November or December, I’ll be ready to start using the elliptical again.

Do you workout at home or at a fitness club regularly? Do you use a Wii to get your body moving? Tell me what you do to try to stay fit.
