i don't know everyone's elliptical routine so i'm going to post mine here and can someone tell me if i'm doing okay? i only started going to the gym 2weeks ago and i'm a gym noob. I know i'm not healthy and so it finally hit me and now i'm exercising. i'm 5'9" and 194 lbs. i set my resistance on the elliptical to 8 and start off slow for the first 2-3minutes, then go to 10 and do faster cycles. i alternate back and forth for 30mins and on the machine it says i burn about 400 calories but i know it's not accurate. my heart rate is at a constant 160-170 and i sweat like a pig.
am i at risk of overexhausting myself or does this seem okay? any input is great! btw, i lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks ever since i hit the gym =). i'm lifting very light weight because i'm actually very weak. i get this look from some ppl but i don't care. i gotta start out somewhere.
