I found it

I love riding my bike but it's too cold these days so had to find something new to do in the wintertime. I am joining the Y. We've gone over and checked it out, have done a couple of workouts together and swam and used the hot tub. I think I'm hooked on it. I still have to talk to myself and tell myself, I am there to do this for me. I watched one gal ride that eliptical machine for almost an hour and I wondered how long it took her to build up to that. It's great if she can do it, but I'm just starting...so really have to do some major self talk there. I got on for 3 minutes...after riding the exercise bike....that eliptical machine kicks my butt so to speak. I have a bad hip so I have to be careful. My physical therapist told me that is the machine to use, there is no impact and you really get a better cardio work out. The great thing is I can go for a swim after my workout and then sit in the hot tub and feel rewarded for all of the hard work. How great is that. Well off for a workout...have a great day.

Sounds wonderful. The waiting list [and joining fee] is huge for the Y here. I'm jealous. xosm

It is very wonderful. The joining fee was steep but Brian got a bonus on his check and that's what we decided to use it for. It's a bummer that you have a waiting list where you are, I know you would enjoy it too. I missed going today I'll get up early in the morning and go before I head off to work. I think it's my new addiction.

oh i am so happy for you enjoy!!! J

Thanks Julie, It's really nice to find something I like to do. My husband had to show me how to use the machines even though I could read the directions. (I just let him) He was like a kid in a candy store when he saw all of the new equipment. I'm glad we can do something like this together and benefit too.
