I have a new piece of living room furniture. It's called an elliptical training machine, otherwise known as a 'badonkadonk torture device.' No, really I like the elliptical, not necessarily as a piece of living room furniture, but if Ihave to choose a workout machine, I will always choose the elliptical. Ellipticals are boring, bikes are boringer, and treadmills are boringest, so I went with the elliptical.
We moved it into the house last Wednesday and so far I've worked out on it twice. Really I prefer karate or a nice long walk, but after trying to count on those for the past couple of months, I decided to get real. I teach karate, which means I don't usually work out, and as for walks--have you seen the wind here? It turns walking into a competitive sport.
I've decided to commit to actually working out, no excuses, at least three days each week. That includes strength training and cardio. Now I get to watch The Tudors while I do it (with the volume up to 40 because the machine squeaks). I get to sweat, and I really do hit that endorphine high about fifteen minutes into it. We'll do a real check-in with the badonkadonk and the scale mid-June--with pics and everything!
