[QUOTE="Fran, post: 31321, member: 3"] Sharon, I have heard that when the scale doesn't budge to add a few more calories. It doesn't seem possible but I figure it's like stoking the engine. Nancy, I don't put it up that high for long. I started at 30 seconds. I try to be really aware of my heart and breathing so I don't over do it. I keep it at 3.6 to 3.8 normally. If I'm feeling really tired, I don't do the spikes in speed. Somedays my legs are pretty tired. I have to tell you that the instructor for the weight training and toning is torturing me. LOL. While keeping keeping my hands on the floor, my shins on a large ball, I have to roll the ball in with my shins, then do a push up after I roll the ball back by straigthening my legs. I looked up at him and said "do you know how old I am?" He just chuckled and said I was fortunate that I could do this and I should keep doing it. Sometimes I wonder how crazy this all is but I figure it all helps those core muscles and balance. I do like the arm exercises with weights though. My arms are less flabby and the strength is increasing. I really, really loved step aerobics but I just don't seem to be able to make it to the class on their schedule. Maybe in a few months. I keep thinking if I mix it up or switch every few months I won't get too comfortable or restless. Good Luck ladies. Today is a new day to get healthy. [/QUOTE]
