This however was the first time for me and this CXT970 elliptical trainer\u2019s sweating, huffing and panting together.<br \/>\nI guess I kinda took a few flirting stabs as I got things in order in my gym\/garage to see if this elliptical trainer I purchased from the Salvation Army in Downtown Sacramento was truly functional. I even called and spent several awkward minutes getting acquainted after my traditional workout to see how she was.<br \/>\nWell today I plunged head first into the world of elliptical training and took a nice fragmented 30 minute voyage. The first 5 minutes were truly painful for my thighs which I noticed yesterday when I took my test spin. The burn was deeper in my quadriceps than when doing my sitting leg raises specifically designed for my quads.<br \/>\nI figured that there is no way I could get any cardio benefits for a long time if I had to deal with that type of burn in my cardio routine! I do not have your average pain threshold I can hang with a little pain, so I knew something was wrong. I then adjusted the pedals forward and this had the affect of placing the pressure more on the balls of my feet for a push off and that was the key to allow me to really get into a nice rhythmic workout routine with the elliptical trainer.<br \/>\nI just went with the manual program and the CXT970 counted off the time I worked out for me. I took a few breaks which I will not do once I\u2019m used to the trainer and in my type of cardio shape and the trainer paused at these moments and kept track of the time.<br \/>\nI\u2019m replaying that lucky day I purchased this nice used elliptical trainer over and over and it just shows you what happens when you give I guess. I gave a few truckloads of goods and found a treasure to help further my goal of staying in physical shape which helps the mental and emotional state in my personal experiences.<br \/>\nI think I will keep this CXT970 elliptical trainer around she can really take a guy on quite a trip and bring a smile of satisfaction!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well just like a new girlfriend it wasn\u2019t her first time around the block or my first tryst with a piece of cardio exercise equipment.
