This was my first time trying an elliptical. I found it interesting, but I'm not sure it is for me. The biggest problem is that I have very short legs and the strides seemed totally out of line with what was reasonable. I'll have to read up to see if I just have the wrong idea on how the exercise is supposed to go.

Shoveling 10 inches of snow
Duration = 1:39:08
Calories = 583
Max HR = 145
Avg HR = 119
When we got the 10 inches of snow, I was ready. I wore the strap and wrist control while shoveling the driveway and walks. I used cleaning off my car as the cool-down.
Steady Zone 1 for the first 8:15, then steady Zone 2. The last 8 minutes of shoveling was in low Zone 3 as I was dealing with the car and the last of the snow. I was moving a bit faster and it was a bit more difficult. I hit the lap button at this point (1:27:24) and called my wife. I then cleared the snow off my car. This final effort was all Zone 1. I figure this is because there was very limited lifting involved.

Unplanned cross training
Duration = 45:00
Tonight, I spent 45 minutes shoveling snow. As this was an "easy" day in the plan, I used this as an impromptu cross training session. Shortly after I started, I thought about getting the HRM to track the effort, but decided that I'd rather just finish than go through the effort of getting undress enough to put on the strap and then dress again for the cold. I booked it as Zone 1 time for the record I keep of exercises.
