Don't worry, its not just you! I gave up after 10 minutes on the eliptical. Then I went and did 30 minutes on the cycle and 35 minutes on the treadmill with no problems! I don't think i've ever sweated so hard. I'm going to try and do it again, but adding a minute each time till I can do 30. :drooling:
 
Hi. I'd like to join because I vacillate between the treadmill and the stationary bike six days a week and then rest on the seventh day. I simply cannot use the elliptical. Whenever I get on it I feel like I'm going to fall off. Maybe I lack coordination. Anyway, my regular on the treadmill is 42 minutes. I do a three-minute warm up, jog for thirty-six minutes straight, and then do a three-minute cool down. When I use the stationary bike, I am on it for 51 minutes. I do a three-minute warm up, ride for 45 minutes (roughly 12 miles an hour), and finish with a three-minute cool down. I'd really like to work the elliptical in, but I just feel like a doofus whenever I attempt to move on it.

I'm using the treadmill to help me train for my first 5k in October. I can do 3.1 miles (5k) in 36 minutes on the treadmill pretty easily (12 minute mile) and I can do the same run in about 33 minutes with some more heavy breathing. When I run outside, however, I can am totally beat by the time I've done my 3.1 miles and it takes me about 40 minutes.

Also, I really only started training about 3-4 weeks ago. I went from barely being able to jog on the treadmill for five minutes to what I can do now.

Do you guys know if the calorie counters on those machines are accurate? I think it's bs for some reason.

i think the calorie counter is more for estimation rather than accurate analysis of wat you burnt. u sound like me when i started out... in fact i tried elliptical at the gym for a while before getting my own at home. its quite manageable after a while and u'll enjoy the perspiration rolling off you soon, haha!
i do abt 30-40 min each day on easy level 1. Maybe it's time to up the notch cos my weight down isn't moving at all for a month already.
Let us know how it goes for ya! It might be kinda quiet around here but I'll be around for the time being to get under 130. U can drop by my diary anytime too to chat.:)
 
oooo - i need this to get me going!!! I'm trying to get on the elliptical five times a week - umm... so far I have one day under my belt! There is something about if you do a task for 2 weeks straight, you build a routine... so i'm hoping to do so!
