I did an hour on my Elliptical and will be taking it easy for the rest of the day as I still have this back ache. Any suggestions on how I can build up my upper strength? I want to have buff arms without looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Okay more like Linda Hamilton. lol. I was thinking about investing in PX90 I know it's gruesome workout but I need to jump start my weight loss again. Lost 4lbs but still want to get down another 11-15 if possible. More toning than anything else. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Morning, Norm! And Boom Shaka Laka to you, too!
Did a full STRIVE ciruit this morning, preceded by a warmup on the elliptical. The weights don't make me all sweaty and stinky (cardio takes care of that) - but they do make everything feel nice and tight and "glowing" for the day!
I agree with you on the great feeling in the legs and glutes on the elliptical - very different from the treadmill in that respect. My gym has 2 different types of ellipticals, one is a more "gliding" motion (hard to describe) with an active push-pull with the arms and that's the one that I really feel with the stretch in the backs of my upper legs and glutes. The other one is more of a "jogging" motion and doesnt' seem to work the whole leg as well.

I will be walking on my lunch hour and then heading to the rec center for some lap time in the pool.
I am trying to do some type of exercise on a daily basis. I have not done so well in the past with all of my knee problems( was a good excuse for me- I can admit that). You are all a great inspiration to get me to keep moving. Thanks!!
