55 Minutes = 818 Calories

April 17, 2009 | Elliptical Workouts, Physical Fitness, Workout Pledges

55 minutes, plus 2 for cooling down, equals 818 calories burned at level 18 on the elliptical.  I really appreciate everyone who participated in the pledge.

I said I’d take pictures, but I lied.  I bring you video instead:

I also said we’d be on level 19 after this, but I lied about that too.  We’re going to go ahead and just skip 19 and go to 20.  That’s the machine’s max level.

How bout them apples?

Congrats! I like how that machine gave all kinds of crazy stats like Avg Watts and so forth.

WOW!!! That is all kinds of nuts!

Thanks for the inspiration. I am currently working toward a large weight loss and your commitment helps to remind me that it can be done.

Great Job! I am curious to hear more of how it went for you. Was it hard? At any point did you want to quit or question teh insanity of leaving your time limit up to bloggers? OR was it easier than expected? THoughts while doing it? That kind of thing..

It was harder than the first pledge, honestly. Level 18 is extremely hard and my calves were feeling the pain after about 15 minutes.

Having said that, resistance is a good thing, not a bad thing.
