[Sportsandrec] A couple cardio things watery and non

[Danielle Nicole Larsen]

That cardio machine you've described sounds AWESOME! I have never in my
existence encountered one, but I hope sometime I do. It sounds incredibly
challenging (and consequently, quite thrilling). Currently one of my mains
sources of cardio is this machine.. it's called the Precor, for those who
don't know it's like an elliptical treadmill combination (sort of). It has
this AWESOME 3x cross training program. So I throw the resistance level at
11 - 13 for 35 minutes. Then I run around the indoor track some. I haven't
been able to run for quite a while so it's nice to be able to do some of
that again...

Sort of on sort of off topic. My roommate is totally blind, and she's not a
big fan of the gym and working out.
Okay I'll be honest... she despises it. But she really wants to lose some
weight and she's been on diets forever. She knows she needs to sort of step
it up and change something. Has anyone ever had someone like that in their
lives? Is there a way to try and get her to go? I don't want to seem mean or
harsh... she really knows she needs to . She just has no desire to go. She
feels like it's never worth her time. Thoughts?

Hey kids,
So, I went to swim Monday and the lanes were full of sighted fokes, so
instead of sharing a lane I lifted. What do yous do in this situation, I
knew none of the lane occupiers as it was not my "regular" time. 
Today I swam like three hundred fifty and then got out to attack this new
whale of a machine we have at our Y since the new year. Are you cats
familiar with this stair climber that pretends it is an escalator. The thing
has like three steps that move the whole time you do. It is truely like
running on a higher between steps escalator. That thing is a dog! I did what
it said was sixty five steps per minute for thirty five minutes. I thought
my cavs were going to explode. Between y'all and me, the masochist in me dug
this machine a little and it is a real challenged to stay on. I'll ride this
one for a bit.
"You call me a dog" "Well that's fair enough" "cause it ain't no use to
pretend you're wrong"  "You call me out I can't hide anymore" "I have no
disguise you can't see through" "Well you say it's bad luck to have fallen
for me" "Well what can I say to make it better for you" "You wore me out
like an old winter coat trying to be safe from the cold" Call Me a Dog
Temple of the Dog
