THE MATRIX

Yesterday I spent two hours on a Matrix (no, not in The Matrix, that is something completely different)

The elliptical that I spent two hours working out was a Matrix brand elliptical machine.

The machine at the Minneapolis YMCA could only be set for maximum of 60 minutes.   I completed two 60 minute workouts (plus five minute cooldown).  After the first workout, I had some numbers that I tried to improve on in the second hour.  Most of my 'improvement' came from actually turning it up a notch on my effort during the 'so-called' cooldown during the second hour.   My cooldown in the second session was anything but that - I was turning the pedals as fast as I could at level 25 in the second session.

workout 1: 60 minutes plus 5 minute cooldown - 731 calories

workout 2: 60 minutes plus 5 minute cooldown - 803 calories
