try a new machine at the gym

It was the thing that looks like an elliptical machine, but the handles move, so it felt like this weird combination between running and cross country skiing.

I loved it though. I’ve actually used the thing 3 times now. It is a close tie between this and the rowing machine for my favorite.

But, I had gotten out of the habit of going to the gym and hadn’t been in a couple months. However, I have been a couple times this week and a couple times last week.

Once I get my stamina back, I will try some tortuous machine :)

The last one I remember trying out was the cross training one. It’s like an exercise bike with poles you push with your arms. It did look a little like a medieval torture device at first, but it was less painful than what they make you watch on TV while you’re at the gym.
