I always do the same workout at the gym on the treadmill. I would love to try an elliptical or something else today just for a change. But I don't feel good after my workout unless my heart rate stays above at least 140 for at least 30 mins. Is there any way to use the elliptical and still get my heart rate up even though my legs tend to be weak? Maybe very low resistance at a high speed or something? I've never been able to get my heart rate above 120 on an elliptical. And on the bike and stairmaster I don't even break 100. I know my body needs more weight training than cardio, but the cardio is important for me to control stress.
Any ideas from the educated crowd?
