My Exercise Accountability for May

We bought this mini stepper at Aldi and I finally tried it. Only able to do 3 minutes.


Going on the treadmill, I find, is easier. Now to figure out this Bowflex machine that was given to us.


I will post each time I exercise this month in this thread. Hopefully it’ll help with motivation.

On all of thos machines, don't got too fast to start....Go at a pace you think you can maintain

Is the treadmill adjustable to make it feel like you are climbing a hill? If so run it on zero or level for awhile until you build up your stamina some.

These are just suggestions based on my own experiences.

Good luck!

Thanks bobinmaine. I only have the stepper, no treadmill at home. If we had room, I would also want a treadmill.
I did the incline option at the local Planet Fitness treadmill and that was tough.

That's awesome, way to get started. The Bowflex is awesome just make sure you use correct technique and you'll love it.

I forgot to come back and say I used that mini-stepper again and went for 6 minutes.

I am starting to get the hang of it. Will need to get my music next time. Kinda boring facing the wall lol.

    So mad at Xfinity!  They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today!  Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

    check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....
