As a former school administrator, I can assure you that you can’t possibly overestimate the stupidity of the average school board member.

Yeah I lost almost a hundred pounds doing nothing but elliptical in less than a year. People are fucking lazy regardless of the machine, that’s the problem.

I do at least 30 minutes of cardio before weights. I thought you burned more calories during weight lifting if you do cardio first?

Flip it. The weight lifting will deplete your glycogen stores, and the cardio will burn more fat if done afterwards. The way you’re doing it now, you’re depleting your glycogen with the cardio, and then stopping and lifting weights.

when you lift first you deplete your glycogen stores and then when you do cardio, it burns fat instead of the gylcogen it normally would. you want more energy to break your muscles down while lifting and then want to burn the stored energy (fat) before you recover.

you burn the same number of calories either order you do cardio and weights in, but it’s more efficient to lift first.

I did… maybe I’m just a Greek God.

No, I’m sure it was your bad technique. You also have to go faster than 3.5mph. Get in that 6-7 range.

plus, you should do your weights first anyways.

atl, i think it’s because you move your arms too. on a treadmill or stair treadmill, you don’t really have to

You have to continually push yourself on an elliptical, which 99% of people don’t do. If you want something to watch TV and zone out on, hop on a treadmill, because you’re never going to get a good workout on an ellipitical.

If you’re not sweating on an elliptical it’s because you most likely put it on pussy resistance level. Crank that sucker up to 10-12 and you’ll break a sweat.

ark, don’t forget gym fashion faux-pas. No. 1 is making sure your sleeves stop just above your tattoo zone. no. 2 is makeup. no. 3 is matching outfit. no. 4 is tight or too-short shorts on guys. the best/worst is when you can combo the above.

tops i’ve seen is a guy with white skin and black hair on the legs, too-short shorts, gray socks and black shoes

old folks who wear jeans and ‘walking’ shoes get a pass
