This morning I am showing my age, using a catchphrase from Jackie Gleason. Jackie Gleason, best known for THE HONEYMOONERS, had a catchphrase in later years.... "And Aw a a y We Go!" The phrase spoken during The Jackie Gleason Show which was off the air by 1970. (I was 13 years old in 1970.) Nevertheless, I consider myself a fan of Gleason, and the title of my blog entry today takes its inspiration from The Great One, Jackie Gleason. (Sorry, Sean Hannity & Mark Levin - Jackie Gleason was the original Great One!)

ELLIPTICAL MACHINE
ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
Last Saturday I started using the elliptical trainer. Each day I set the machine to my weight, set the timer to 30 minutes and entered the maximum resistance of '10.'
I used the elliptical twice per day Saturday thru Friday.
The very first time that I used this machine I 'burned' 320 calories.
The second session on Friday, I managed to 'burn' 395 calories.
As I have improved, I continue to be quite winded when I am done.
There is plenty of room for further improvement.
