Today's Workout

For several months, Jay and I have been members of Anytime Fitness, and, yes, that means we are able to work out any time. :)  We typically exercise 4 times a week.  Since Jay is working from home today, we decided to go to the fitness center this morning.  It was quite crowded.  My favorite elliptical machine was not available.  In fact, all of the elliptical machines I use were occupied.  Usually, when this happens, we leave and return later in the day; however, I decided to give the elliptical crosstrainer a try.  After completing my 4 miles using the same resistance levels I normally use, I was soaked and exhausted!  Adding the adjustable CrossRamp to the mix really made a difference.  Interestingly, the machine estimated that I burned 472 calories (the same estimate my usual elliptical machine reports).  I guess both machines are programmed to use the same formula to estimate the number.
