Today my plan was to get on the elliptical machine.
But I chickened out.
I did the bike for 10 minutes and then used the indoor track to do a combination of running and walking.
I'm not sure why but I'm really intimidated by a lot of the equipment at the gym. I've used a lot of it before, but I'm reluctant to use them.
It's probably that I don't want to look like a moron falling off the machines.
I know I'll get there eventually. I plan on having someone take me through and show me how everything works so I feel more comfortable.
Still, I hate that I'm being such a wimp about it.

Don't be intimidated! I'm the least "gym-y" person ever created, and I LOVE the elliptical machines. First of all, you have those two poles to hang onto, so you're less likely to fall than on a treadmill (which I should not be allowed to use for my own health and safety, as I can and do look like a moron using one of those.) In fact, I'm trying to encourage myself to branch out and try other machines rather than stick to my beloved elliptical trainer.
Try it, you will love it.
Don't be afraid of the elliptical, it is easy to use. I prefer to use it rather than the treadmill or the bike.
