Well, as out of shape as I am, I’m having to go for short slow walks and work my way up to the longer ones. It’s amazing how much I sweat even at 2 mph — enough that I now have to keep a hand towel nearby so I don’t short out my laptop while typing!

On the other hand, I lost 3 pounds last week.

I think FlyLady does that. I’ve always wondered how.

Post pictures of your set up once you peel yourself off the wall.

Maybe you should go for length of time and not worry about the speed. Half way through my time on the bike I have to quit reading because not enough blood is getting to my brain.

A slow, long walk sounds do-able, if you’re more coordinated than I am.

Good luck and congrats!

I found that I simply CANNOT do anything that takes my eyes away from the front of the treadmill (reading? not so sure I could pull that off) or I go flying off said treadmill.

I prefer to focus on the workout (at least for now, we’ll see how bored I get with THAT).

I HAVE, however, found something that may work for me: Podfitness. (http://www.podfitness.com/) I haven’t as of yet tried it out because I’ve had deadlines that cause me to work all night and the last thing I wanna do is hop on a treadmill with less than 3 hours’ sleep in 36. Heh.

I’ll letcha know how it goes.

I saw that this morning. Great idea, but the guy started with a recumbent bike to begin with (mine’s a standard one), which made me wonder why he didn’t just use a TV tray instead of doing all that Dremel and solder work.

We had an elliptical for a while. I’m so short, though, that every step brought my knee practically to my chest, which was hard on my knees. Hated that thing.

Good for you, Kate! Funny that you mention this – I’ve been thinking about setting up the same thing after seeing that Lifehacker article. I’m worried it might give away just how much time I spend online, though!

Ironically, Lifehacker just posted the “Nerdcycle” as their book contest winner. I figure that’s just to make us all feel bad, though.

Sorry. The spam filters catch ANY comment which contains more than two links. The "CommentLuv" link is counted as one, so inserting another one tends to gum things up. Until I wade through my Askimet stuff, that is. Today was easy... only 497. *sigh* Venomous Kate's last blog post..Doing My Taxes With 10 Days To Spare

I’ve already decided to get rid of our elliptical and get a treadmill when we get settled – and I am so totally figuring out how I can type while walking!

Oh and yeah 5mph is fast. It sucks actually. LOL I’ve been working out for a few weeks now, every day for the past week. I am trying to build up to running a 10 minute mile but dang it is tough.

That's a good idea. I've got a wireless board and mouse so that would be easy to manage. My monitor is the flat panel and of a decent size. I think I am gonna go browse some fold aways. Thanks Kate. Lori's last blog post..3 Random Photos of Animals and Ramble
