I just want to apologize in advance for the tardiness of this post. Between going to the gym, having to work and trying to spend time with my wife, I was a bit busy yesterday and I passed out early.
On day six, I decided to break up the monotony of the treadmill by working out on the elliptical. I was a bit worried at first because in the past the elliptical has had the tendency to hurt my knees etc., but this session went really well. However, I'm not buying the whole low impact schtick they try to tell you about the elliptical. Sure, it may not hurt your hips and knees as much as pounding away on a treadmill, but my heart was racing the whole time I was on the damn thing. So there was a high impact on my cardiovascualar system. That's why I love the elliptical, it kicks your butt and that's exactly what I needed- something to snap me out of the funk I was in on Friday.
On an interesting side note, I get regular emails for discounts at restaurants and events around LA. I received one the other day for half off of a Botox treatment. Now I'm no genius, but something tells me discounted elective procedures are not good for me. That didn't stop me from looking at my checking account online to see if I had the funds. I think I've been living in LA too long. I don't even have any wrinkles, but I feel like I'm missing out on a fundamental element of living in the City of Angels. My wife even asked me one day if it's possible to have elective work done on our cat, something I think he'd be into given his personality. It does make you wonder about what we're willing to put ourselves through to look good. For me, I'd rather log hours on an elliptical, then minutes under a needle having botulism injected into my face.
