Re: 2+2er Nike Plus group
[ QUOTE ]
kyleb, where are you from? i work out at 24 in san diego. entity, thanks so much for linking to this - i had never paid much attention to it but it sounds very cool and like it really could help motivate for running. i usually stay away from running and use the treadclimber+stairstepper+elliptical instead because i think running is v hard, but this would definitely be motivating. what if you don't have a nano? i have an ipod video - will it work for that? [/ QUOTE ] It will only work with a Nano, unfortunately. People have asked Apple about this and there is apparently no plan to make it work with other hard-drive based Ipods. I've heard various reasons for this but the most likely seems that they don't want to encourage people to be jogging with hard-drive based units. |

fluffpop62, Do you elliptical more backwards than you do forwards? [/ QUOTE ] No, elliptical is my least favorite out of all the machines. I use it at the end of my workouts because it's a consistent calorie burner (I feel like even if I'm exhausted after doing other cardio, I burn the same amount of calories as I do when it's the first thing I work out on - stairstepper, though, the more energy I have the better workout I get). Funny that you ask, because I read in a magazine that you burn more calories going backwards, but when I tried to compare it w/ 5 minutes forward v. 5 minutes backward it was the same amount of calories. If anybody gets the chance, the TreadClimber is the most fun you can have while working out (IMHO, obviously). |

[/ QUOTE ] damn. i would totally do this otherwise. oh well, i think it's definitely a good idea and it'd be sweet if you could get a 2+2 group going. |

The device unfortunately won't count elliptical miles as it counts mileage based on footstrike (it's just a geeky pedometer that connects to an ipod and syncs with playlists, etc.). [/ QUOTE ] Sons of bitches. Oh well, maybe I'll buy it anyway. I still run a few miles a week, but I intersperse the sessions with elliptical miles too. |

Re: 2+2er Nike Plus group
I think people look retarded going backwards on the elliptical. It seems utterly pointless.

The impracticality is outweighed by the extra 3 calories you burn an hour which is immediately offset by the extra slice of pie they have with dinner. |
