Man! This morning's session with Terrance was really tough. Though I had Carl's advice not to be a whiner and don't say I can't at the forefront of my mind, I had to call uncle after just 3 minutes on the elliptical trainer. My respect for Jim accomplishing an hour on this machine every other day has grown tremendously.
I'd been so happy with my treadmill work until this morning. Terrance kicked the mph up to 3 and the incline to 4.0 - I did manage 4 minutes there before he stopped it. Terrance has a rule of no holding on to the hand rails. Pretty certain I could have walked a bit longer if I'd held on but rules are rules. I actually stepped off the treadmill mentally patting myself on the back for not allowing myself to slid off the back and then came the elliptical machine............I'll try again tomorrow morning to see if I can manage just a little bit longer on it. Interestingly it's not the breathing or heart rate that got me but the legs, oh the legs.
(Reckon I might need them for hiking up a glacier, eh?)
