Good for you for doing 9 mins. When I first got on my Gazelle last February I only did about 5 mins. - my DH couldn't even do that. Just take baby steps and before you know it you will be doing 45 mins and wondering why you feel so good.

![]() ![]() Believe me I wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes on one of those things. I'm striving to do my Taebo tapes tonight and I know I won't last very long at all, but we have to start somewhere right? ![]() Great job! ![]() -------------------- ~*Karen*~

dont feel bad the first time I got on one I could only do 5 minutes. Start slow then add as time goes by. I have not been on it it so long that when I get back to it at the gym I bet I will only be able to do 5 minutes again.
Good for you for starting, I know it will get easier for you, just keep at it a little at a time -------------------- Di ~ mommy to Kaitlin wife to David

I'm impressed that you did 9 minutes Sara! If you really think about it-9 minutes is a long time! ![]()
I love doing Taebo! I'm hoping to start my tapes again too, but I have to find them first. ![]() ![]() -------------------- ~*~Jennifer~*~

Yeah ok maybe 9 minutes wasn't so bad after all.
![]() ![]() I use to do Taebo and it was pretty fun... but Billy Blanks was just a little too much for me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ETA: I want to put my new weight loss ticker in my siggy but something weird is going on and I can't edit my siggy at all. ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by ~Roo'sMama~ on Jan 4 2006, 11:27 AM -------------------- |

Well I'll embarrass myself to make everyone feel better - I still can't figure out how to work the elliptical machines at the gym and I am too embarrassed to admit it to the staff.

Don't be embarrassed! It took me a little while to figure some of those machines at the gym out too. ![]() ![]() -------------------- |

I have an elliptical maching but I think its very hard. I can run 4-5 miles but I can't really do more than 20 minutes on the thing. A friend of mine said that its hard for a shorter person (I'm 5 feet tall) because the stride is too long.
ANyway....GREAT JOB!!!!!! Keep it up!!! You'll be doing 30-45 minutes soon -------------------- ~*~*~*~Edie, Jason 9/23/02, and Emma 11/19/06~*~*~*~

Perhaps this is a Goal:
One minute more per day or every other day. ESPECIALLY those days when you don't feel like it. If you've increased a minute per day - that is say 7 minutes in a week, once per week treat yourself to a reward. For example a bowl of vanilla ice cream with hershey's on top. It will taste THAT MUCH BETTER if you hold off . Good luck and you can do this. ![]() |

I know what you mean it was my favorite thing to do at the gym before I got pg, too. I don't think I ever did it for an hour though! I'm such a wimp. ![]() -------------------- |
