Challenge Completed (283 reps)
Worked out yesterday but forgot to post due to too much going on including my meal prep(working on a blog post for that). It was a light day( cardio only) since I was in a rush (30 minutes on Elliptical ARC Trainer).

Great job everyone still push forward!!

This is a picture of the weird machine I attempted to use for about 10 minutes...then my ankle got annoyed with it so I switched to the other elliptical. It is supposes to mimic running and eliminate impact of running, which it did. However, since I am 6ft tall, it couldn't quite accomodate my long stride so after a while my body said...screw this!! LOL Has anyone else seen or tried this machine before??

I'm personally scared of that machine. It looks like it's a robot. Do you gravitate towards machines to be easier on your ligaments and tendons?

LOL!!! It definitely caught my attention quickly!! Yes, I prefer some type of elliptical for lower impact but i do occasionally do the StairMaster or Run if I am in the mood!! I am flat footed so I have learned what types of impact my body can tolerate and what it can't through many years of training! Not to mention, I had to leave the military due to stress fractures in both legs due to the high impact running ...so I never want to experience that pain again!! :-P

Snapping to attention to salute!!
