Work-out using Elliptical

Work-out using Elliptical Crosstrainer
Precor EFX576i @ FSU Gym
Wednesday, August 31, 2011
As part of my daily work-out, I have been carrying out a rotating schedule of various techniques and various equipments for my 20-25 minute session. Today, like many other days, I have used the Precor EFX576i Elliptical Crosstrainer that is available at our gymnasium. This crosstrainer gives me exercise both to the upper torso, lower toros, and legs.
I usually select one of the several work-out options available in the trainer: manual, interval, variety, and performance. I set it between 14-16 minutes work-outs with 5 minutes cooling cycle. I try to use both hands and legs in the elliptical, I definitely use the handle bars during the high resistance and inclination part but use the heart-rate monitor bars during the low resistance range. This way, I can monitor my heartrate and get a good workout both for my upper and lower body.

Work-out using Indoor Rower
Concept2 Model D Rower @ FSU Rec.
Thursday, August 25, 2011
As part of my daily work-out, I have been carrying out a rotating schedule of various techniques and various equipments for my 20-25 minute session. Today, like many other days, I used the Indoor Rowing machine that is available at our Recreation Center. This indoor rower gives me exercise mostly for the upper torso, lower toros, and legs.
Since the rower has simple options, I set it at medium resistance of 6. I usually row between 10-12 minutes work-outs with 5 minutes walking to cool off. I also can follow the force curve display that is available on the PM3 monitor in front of me. This way, I can monitor my workout for my upper and lower body. Today I rowed for about 11 minutes and burned close to 90 Calories and walked for about 5 minutes to cool-off.
