Decided on this one ...

[carrina]

Well, after careful consideration i decided on the Reebok cross trainer which i brought at a reasonable price, second hand. So i was really excited to have my first go on it and ... lasted all of 3 minutes if that ! Almost fell off it , all disorientated , heart pounding in my ears , legs feeling like jelly , felt like i was still on it . I am well out of condition, but hopefully bit by bit, i can get fit again lol

Oh! I was going to ask you how much you wanted for it. 😄

Hi carrina. You go for it, and 3 mins is a place to start !! Love burs xx

[carrina in reply to Burs]

Thanks Burs, unsure how long i need to be doing on it without stopping xx

"...unsure how long i need to be doing on it without stopping"

Until you are moderately breathless, which should take longer and longer as you get fitter. Eventually the time taken to get moderately breathless will plateau out and then that will be your limit and guideline to continue to aim for future sessions. Well done.

Hi, i was the same last year 3mins was soon doing 30 mins. It doesnt take too long. Good luck. Karen. Xxx

[carrina in reply to Pwkav1]

Thats great ! Thanks Karen . Its hard work on my legs, think that is what makes it a bit difficult as a beginner xx

[Pwkav1]

Hi Carrina, starting off your legs will feel like jelly. But as you get used to it will soon go. Well done you for starting to exercise. Just take it easy love. Xxxx

In a PR exercise class you would only do 2 minutes on a machine so if you did 3 and are still breathing then that’s a great accomplishment.😂😂

[carrina in reply to Whitechinchilla]

Ooh ! not bad then

Oh dear! Your comments did make.me 😃 smile as I could imagine exactly how you felt just after a few minutes!!! Onwards and upwards as they say!

[carrina in reply to SquirrelsHolt]

I was in a right state !! Managed to do 4 minutes today but my thighs are killing !! Shall keep at it. I am doing a few minutes here and there throughout the day to get used to it.

[SquirrelsHolt in reply to carrina]

That's it girl!! Keep at it.... Little but often and you'll soon be noticing the improvement in breathing and also your muscles!!!

[carrina]

Oh yes !
