For elliptical, what resistance and incline do you typically do? Is there an optimal level for the best workout? I sometimes see people going so fast on the elliptical but with zero resistance and incline. Hmm...wonder how effective of the workout that would be.

Did nothing yesterday, so hit out with a big one today.

5mins warm up on bike, and stretching - 28 Cals
60mins on elliptical, level 11, 150spm - 788 Cals
60mins on bike, level 1, 90-110rpm - 374 Cals

Total = 1,190 Cals.

Went up a level on the elliptical, so reduced my stride rate down to 150 from the 180+ I was using on level 10. Felt great!

This morning I took Harvey on a 3km walk, though needed my walking stick as my poor leg was tired from yesterday's big session. Then went swimming, found my arms were tired too, and only did 1.5km!

I'd planned yesterday to do my upperbody weights this afternoon, but seeing as my arms felt fatigued from that elliptical too I just sat on the exercise bike for 90mins, and read US Elle from cover to cover. 557 cruisey Cals.
