Elliptical + Cardio Coach = LOVE!!!

[exer_cited]

For those of you that do CC workouts on an elliptical, I bow to you...

I joined the gym across from my work today and did CCV2 on an elliptical for the first time. My legs and buns were burning almost immediately. I WAS IN HEAVEN!!!!

Previous to this, I've only done them on a stationary bike. Which is hard in it's on right but the elliptical totally rocks.

The only downside to doing a CC in a gym atmosphere is people. It took all I had to contain my outbursts of enthusiasm. At the end when Coach says to raise your arms above your head and yell "bring it on, Coach", my arms were almost up there before I stopped myself...

LOL! I have thought about that before. I don't work out at a gym, but when Coach Sean says to do that I often think how fun it would be to do just that in a gym, to see how others responded!!!! They might want to know what you were working out to and get hooked on Cardio Coach too!!!

Good point Mary. Maybe it'll drum up some extra business for Sean!!

Now next time, I'm going to be so tempted to do it.

I wish I had room in my basement for an elliptical, Kate. My workout room is in the basement, but I have too much stuff and can't fit one. I pretty much joined the gym for the sole purpose of ellipticizing (my SIL's word ) with CC. Now I am totally hooked!!

LOL, Melissa! I have done that but I do my CC workouts outside, I was done with vol. 2 and did yell BRING IT ON (ummh, I have the volume on my iPod pretty loud ) and turned the corner where I saw another runner. He looked at me like I had totally lost my mind

I agree with the elliptical being hard work! I can't do it! You guys rock!

Congrats on joining the new gym.

You will not regret it Shannon!! Cardio Coach ROCKS!!

I feel SO validated!!! I do all my CC workouts on an elliptical and I always feel like those dreadmill people look down their noses at me -- LOL!!!!! I consider the elliptical a GREAT leg workout in and of itself, too. Oh Melissa, just wait until you try Volume 8 on the elliptical . Aye yi yi!!! You will be crying for your mommy!

Oh, and when he says to raise your hands above your head and yell, "bring it on coach!" -- I do it . My elliptical is in the bedroom right next to a window that faces the front yard. I had the window open last week when I was doing the workout and I'm SURE all sorts of people heard me when I yelled.

I knew it was only a matter of time before you joined this party, Michele!!

I was crying for my mommy today on V2, I can't imagine V8.... But you know I'll give it whirl!!!

Those two 8 minute hills are going to be BRUTAL...

 

[Miss Lee]

Yeah, that 2nd challenge is humbling to say the least! I always have to keep reminding myself that it's a test of endurance, and then forgive myself for dialing back the resistance. I can't use my normal level of resistance for that length of time!

I'm working on a review of Vol 8 to submit to Coach Sean. He's posting reviews now in his store!

 

[chefkate]

I already did my cardio today (Cathe Kickbox) but I think I need to do some CC now!

Melissa, We didn't officially have room for the elliptical either, but DDs suddenly found their Barbie area just a wee bit smaller!

Oh Shannon, your workouts on the elliptical will NEVER be the same!!! You're gonna LOVE Cardio Coach!! Heck, he's got such a great sale going on that you might as well get them all. As soon as you do Volume 1 you're going to want them all anyway.

ROTFLMAO!!! There is the enabler-in-chief at work again! She did the same with me and it changed my life forever

I agree with challenge 2 being a real killer. Every time I do volume 8 I think my legs are on fire and I will drop in the middle of the street or hill

I know, it's actually all typed up and I am going to email it to Sean. So he can decide if he wants to post it on his website in its entirety or excerpts.

Good, because your story is SO inspiring and has the potential to motivate so many others! Now you just need to work on your review of Volume 7 . Am I a nag or what!? LOL!!!

I'm a treadmiller (like it, so don't use the term "dreadmill") and I've never looked down on anyone who uses an elliptical. I hate 'em and I think part of the reason is because it's so hard! I've only tried it a few times on an inexpensive one we bought for my husband that doesn't really fit me, but still. I admire all of you elliptical-ers!
