That took me 25 minutes and then I jumped on the elliptical for 12 minutes. Thanks to the Buccaneers defense for cutting it short. I was just over 11 minutes and decided to watch the rest of the Eagles drive. They were moving the ball and trying to mount a comeback. Hurts had the ball stripped on the next play. :laughing:

Iā€™ve seen ways to monitor fatigue, performance, etc, but Iā€™ve picked up something from the elliptical. I typically only go for 10 minutes and I do a 2:1 interval (2 min easy and 1 min hard). My heart rate is all over the place on those workouts as well as my calorie burn according to my watch. I decided to just cruise today instead of the interval. I went 12 min and burned 221 calories while covering 1.21 miles. My last five workouts on the elliptical were 10 minutes and all covered 1.0 to 1.04 miles and the caloric burn was 160, 178, 154, 125, and 139.

I felt like I was huffing and puffing today and the energy expenditure confirmed it. The elliptical has become my measuring tool for fatigue.

Hey @Mod_Phoenix Iā€™ve been away from the forum for a while so I probably missed this. Iā€™ve been trying to visit some old bookmarks and the links take me back to the homepage. Has certain content been moved or has it been removed completely?

I just tried to look this link up:

Thanks.
