Near casualty from new exercise routine (AW PIP)

PeetiePie · June 2009

So I have been doing the ellipitcal machine for 45 minutes 4-5 days a week for like 4 years. I needed to do something different so I tried the arc trainer. It's a little different than an elliptical and IMO harder to do.

So I do my 30 min new routine...and here's what I got:

The worst part was I had just finished reading the disclaimer on the machine that said something like "do not dismount machine until the pedals have completly stopped"

No effing sh!t, huh

It actually happened on Sunday and this pic is from Tues or Wed, but it doesn't look much different now. I had to take a pic to show DH (he works 2nd shift). He woke me up the other night to look at it and laughed. He says I'm fragile.
