Ellipticals & Treadmills

I was introduced to the Elliptical Machine and the Treadmill on Thursday. I've been on any of those so it was quite an interesting new experience.

The Elliptical Machine was pretty tiring. I only went about 15mins on it and my knees were starting to feel wobbly. The Treadmill was a slightly more interesting experience. I was on it for about 20mins, walking at about 4.5kph and when I stopped, my feet felt like it was floating! I don't think I was lightheaded, but it was a strange sensation of weightlessness.

I did kinda enjoy the two machines coz I am better able to know my speed and duration as well as the approximate number of calories burnt. The only problem is that it can get kinda dull walking 20+mins on a treadmill. I'm gonna think about how to keep myself occupied. Maybe I can finally make use of my portable DVD player. The PSP screen is a little small...

The next machine I am thinking of trying out will be the rowing machine. But that's a story/adventure for another time. :)
