Dear Diary,

I have agreed to give up my beloved treadmill. For a week.

I used the elliptical for half an hour this morning and experienced less than desirable effects. Good news: my hip does feel better. Bad news: now my calf, hamstring, nerve behind the knee and the right side of my knee are raising their voices in protest.

Stats: 250 cal, 1.79 mi, 30:00 min
E21, random program, level 3

At the 6 minute mark, my feet started to burn. My feet repeatedly slipped and I had to continually adjust to make sure they were evenly placed on either foot hold. Then there was the stinging pain at the nerve behind my knee. It. Was. Not. Happy.

*sigh*

I didn't work up a good sweat and Kelt has already posted something eons ago about ellipticals being up to 41% off in their calculations (more than any other piece of equipment, if memory serves me well), so I know I can't trust the numbers shown.

I would be willing to add this to my routine but still use the treadmill most often. I like it. I like walking. I like hiking (outside of nature and the bugs and heat that come with that). I do not like aimlessly wandering in air.

No likey!

Tomorrow I will try the bike.
