So, for the past few weeks I've been working on getting in shape for The World Race. I'm a member of Urban Active which has been a huge blessing...and the view is amazing!
As I'm working out, at least I can look up and enjoy the view of my favorite skyline! It is always nice to have a bit of a distraction.
Along with the beautiful view, there are lots of machines to choose from...I've only ventured onto a select few, but I'm pretty intrigued by all the sights. The most commonly used piece of equipment for me is a standard elliptical. (I couldn't find
a picture, so you'll have to use your imagination) I started out just using a treadmill, but after using the elliptical I was converted :) I've ventured onto one other piece of machinery, and I probably won't be doing it anymore...It's even a little
intimidating to look at, but it's even worse to use! I spent about 10 minutes on it before completely giving up and moving on to more charted territory. Take a look...
The manufacturer of this machine boasts, "The AMT does more than customize a workout, it customizes a movement -- adapting to your motion -- which means you can completely change the motion and paths of your steps without so much as the push of the button." In my opinion, this thing really just makes it hard to work out without feeling like you could fly off at any moment. By "completely change the motion" they mean, "one false move and you're done for"
So, now that you've gotten the run-down, I thought I'd give you a glimpse into today's workout...Enjoy :)
At this point I thought you'd enjoy a pic of what I look like after about 4 miles on the elliptical.After this I moved on to the treadmill for a few more minutes, and the workout for the day was accomplished. So, there you go...hope you enjoyed your glimpse into a workout with Charity!
