XT- elliptical

Did the elliptical for 32 min.

I have to learn more about this machine- I did 32 min, endurance program, my max speed was 3.2mph, distance was 1.5m, max heart rate was 120bpm, but the calories burnt were 302!! How can this be? I did sweat some but that is normal nowadays in the summer, no huffing or puffing, and 302 calories?? I could get addicted to this:) IN 30 min of R/W I manage to burn only 200 cal.

Finished off with some weights and abwork. I was really hurting today, in my quads mainly. I think it was due to the downhill session in the LSD yesterday- never hurt so much before. I didnt hurt so bad even after the half-M. Had to take an Advil.

R/W session tomorrow.
