Gym is Open (Weekend 3/29-3/30)

I am opening the gym for anyone who wishes to post.  I actually went to the gym today again so I just HAD to post 25 minutes on the treadmill at between 2.6 and 2.8 at variable inclines (calorie burning program) I made it 1.2 miles and burned 250 calories (plus a 5 minute cool down after) I can't believe I am actually enjoying the gym, this is a MAJOR breakthrough for me What are you doing to move your body this weekend?

HI.  This is my first time posting to the gym.  I did 30 minutes on the recumbant bike this afternoon.  Avg 11-12 mph.  Wish my knees would let me do more at a crack.  I was enjoying my book :)

That's pretty fast, especially if your knees bother you.  I've used a recumbent bike for a few years off and on at home and I usually ride about that speed or a little slower but my knees generally don't bother me.  Way to go! I've noticed the bike at my gym is a much better workout than the one at home - its smoother and it really isolates my thighs a lot more.  Probably because I took the pedal straps off the one at home so I don't get the upward pull, just the push down on the pedal.  At the time it was because I was over the weight limit of the bike and didn't want to get my feet stuck if I needed to pull them out of the straps when the bike broke.  Lovely.  Anyway, I hope you keep posting here!  WTG on the hard work :)

No lie, I did 537 calories worth of...shopping!
