A New Training Program

Actually, this is not exactly new, many people tried it before. And my PTA has suggested this to me for a while. After the disappointment of the Bay Bridge Run, I decided to start this program. (Jogging for an hour is a bit of boring and hard on knees.)

The program has three parts:
1. 20 minutes on Elliptical Trainer
2. 20 minutes on Cross Ramp
3. 20 minutes on Treadmill

Elliptical Trainer offers a non-impact cardiovascular workout on both lower and upper bodies.
Cross Ramp has a cross country ski kind of motion and has no impact on joints. Also, various slope setting can target the following muscles groups: gluteal, hamstrings, quadriceps , and calf muscles.

An hour of workout with heart rate of 150 to 160 burns about 800 calories, which means 1 pound weight loss for 4 1/2 workouts.

自我安慰地说,施花弄草,也算下了一点毛毛雨?
