Should i cut the cardio?

[Frisco Girl]

I tried it today! Not as easy as i thought! LOL I thought i was going to break the elipital machine!


The Eliptical Machine i use at the gym as an incline also, I used interval up down up down. I put the resistance on 10 and boy did it burn!!

Great advice guys!

hahaha frisco girl, me too! I never "hold on" when I do the elliptical cause thats cheating. Let me tell you, while sprinting on that thing without holding on, damn you need some good balance!

those 2 minutes were the longest 2 minutes of my life!! but I could feel it working my whole leg from calf to glute...dayam

That is the truth!!!! The LONGEST 2Minutes! Ive ever been thru... Ive been doing it for the last week and i have to say that Spatts and JJ advice were right on! My legs feel nice and tight like i just finished doing squats!

I really appreciate the advice, its been really rought on!

You can also do interval training/sprints on the Stepmill (aka Gauntlet) if your gym has one. That's the big machine that is rotating stairs - mimics actual stairs since you have to pick up your feet and walk up the stairs.

I LOVE doing intervals on that thing. Low impact, high intensity and it really kicks your butt!

i'm with ya on this one. i just tried this last night, and omg...it kicked my butt (in a good way)! i'm constantly looking for ways to make cardio more interesting and this was a great change of pace.

That machine!!!! HAHAHA That is my next task! LOL Those steps are perty high... Let me try today and see, i'm sure it will burn more than the dlipitical, and maybe i won't almost fall off! LOL LOL I went so fast then tried to stop!!! Ohh boy i almost fell off, everyone was looking at me! HA HA Keep you guys posted on my experience today.
Thanks again girls
