Bery I just started doing my elliptical again. I can do 1 episode of Scrubs (22 minutes) and that burns 251 calories. Then I am spent

Going to try and work up to an hour a session. Been at it for 2 weeks, but this cold fucked up my routine this week.

I've been rowing. - kelly May 21, 21:03 13

  - I check the site daily to see when the Baltimore date is going to be announced. Nothing yet. -- nm - kelly May 21, 21:14
- It's great to see you folks getting into shape. I saw you and Will's post about doing laps. -- nm - Bacon May 21, 21:04 9
  - April 7 was my first day at the gym. Since then (so, 6 weeks or so), I've lost 6.8 lbs. Not a huge amount, but I can deal with 1 lb/wk. - kelly May 21, 21:12 8
    - that's fantastic. slow and steady. -- nm - loosi at home May 21, 21:31
    - When you lose weight due to exercise it's going to come off slower, because the muscle you gain weights twice as much as the fat lost. - Bacon May 21, 21:17 6
      - Right, but I mean - kelly May 21, 21:26 5
        
        Just remember 1 lb a week is 52 lbs in a year :) That was my average over the two years it took me to reach goal. -- nm - Meg May 21, 21:29 1
        
        It's better than the weight I was gaining! I'll take it! -- nm - kelly May 21, 21:37
        
        Oh, I agree. Eat healthier and you increase the benefit of exercise. - Bacon May 21, 21:29 2
        
        My little brother (who is training for a triathalon (!!!)) had me watch a few documentaries on Netflix Instant. He's trying to sell me on adding - kelly May 21, 21:49
        
        Oh man, I hate cilantro. - Beryllium May 21, 21:33
- Climb a dam! -- nm - prayformojo May 21, 21:04
For the bike, I am just going to work on balance, handling, and distance. - Beryllium May 21, 20:59 10
- There is an awesome device to help you out in the beginning. - Bacon May 21, 21:03 8
  - Now THIS is being a downer. :P - Beryllium May 21, 21:07 7

      - I think I was riding a ten-speed with hand brakes in my school days. When I was 12. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:12 4
        
        I've switched between. How are the disk brakes? -- nm - nevermind May 21, 21:14 3
        
        Very responsive. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:15 2
        
        If I remember right the roads where you are aren't flat. - nevermind May 21, 21:28 1
        
        Correct. Nothing major near me, a few small hills - the main area I'd ride (the new trail) is mostly flat -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:32
    - Guilty -- nm - Bacon May 21, 21:07
- Ride at low gears and speeds until you get completely comfortable. -- nm - nevermind May 21, 21:02
Elliptical is a much more aggressive workout. FWIW, bery, I wouldn't worry about the exact amount of calories. - David May 21, 20:59 11
- much more aggressive. I was doing that few months ago and it's a tough one. Loved it. - Remlik May 21, 21:06 1
  - and look at the hot women temporarily confused about Remlik's appeal! -- nm - David May 21, 21:24
- And to be clear. I wasn't downgrading his effort. I was sharing how hard it is to get back into an exercise routine. - Bacon May 21, 21:02 1
  - I am well aware that you weren't being a downer :) -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:06
- yeah, no, I was just having fun with that. I did ten minutes on the bike, and the view would have been great if I'd brought my camera. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:00 6
  - I want to figure out a way to strap my phone to my chest to take a time-lapse video of my commute. -- nm - psilotum May 21, 21:05 3
    - Pretty sure they make devices for this. It's likely that they also make cases for this. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:07 2
      - There is camera for that. Hero? And I just saw a handlebar mount for an iPhnone last week. -- nm - nevermind May 21, 21:16 1
        
        Yeah, GoPro Hero. Handlebar mount might be too shaky unless there's some sort of stabilization ... - Beryllium May 21, 21:17
  - this is the view from the bike path I was on -- (link) - Beryllium May 21, 21:01 [flickr] 1
    - Nice view. -- nm - nevermind May 21, 21:23
