My New Enemy....

-
As you join me in this fitness journey I have gone on, I decided I would share as I go! Do you know what this machine is? It is an elliptical machine. It looks harmless doesn't it? Do NOT let its looks fool you. This machine is the spawn of Satan. If I thought Pilates was the spawn, I was wrong. My sister in law has worked out on these before and had told me on Tuesday that we were going to try these today. The way she put it to me was, "After the first 20 minutes, the feeling that you are going to die goes away." That made me really hopeful. Well, I was proud because I made it almost 30 minutes before I had to stop. But, this is my new goal. I will beat this sucker and be able to stay on it 45 minutes at least! I had spaghetti legs when I got off! But, we did some arm weight lifting thingys and then another 45 minutes on the treadmill. So, I think the day was a success! And of course, we did the massage chairs after. That was heavenly.

I did it on my stomach, because after 3 children, I have the "pooch". I hate the "pooch". I figured that this wouldn't hurt, so while Hubby was in Washington, I tried it. All you do is put lotion on the body part you are working on. It's preferable to have a lotion with something from the sea in it, like seaweed, kelp, etc, but not absolutely necessary. Put A LOT on. I mean to where it's not soaking in anymore. Then you wrap the body part in plastic wrap. You can either secure it with an ace bandage or do what I did and just tape it. Since I did it around my belly, I just taped it to itself and it stayed in place. Then you go to bed. Whe...
