*phew*

I just got back from the gym on Hickam AFB. I burned about 1000 calories on the elliptical crosstrainer machine. I’m not trying to lose weight or anything, though, so I downed a mocha shake w/ whipped cream at a starbucks wannabe place in the NEX mall on my way back :-).
I really do like how I feel after doing the elliptical thing for an hour or two. Everything seems to move so slowly for the first few minutes afterward–very calming and pleasant. I also like the feeling I get in the middle of a workout after pushing my speed up as high as I can go for about minute or so, and then settling back down to ~60-70 rpms. I like the elliptical thing better than the treadmill, too, because it’s easier to maintain a good rhythm.
