Good for you for exercising! Which machine did you use?

Right now I'm concentrating on the elliptical. I'm working on getting up to 20 or more minutes at a good resistance before I start adding in other machines. I can only manage a 4 resistance for the first half, then I drop to 3. It looks like my conditioning is improving fairly rapidly as my heart rate isn't spiking as much. The really good thing about my increasing time is that Rorik will keep walking as long as I am on my machine. He *really* needs to get into some sort of condition - he gets winded so very easily.

I will need eventually to get a trainer to help me with a routine, but I have to be able to keep breathing first. I'm looking at the pilates classes. I really liked them before, but I'm trying to figure out a way to coerce Rorik into doing the class as well. I needs must be very sneaky about this.

You are taking the right approach. Awesome!

As for Rorik, he will have to figure it out on his own. The best you can do for him is lead by example. Go take the pilates classes. He will either join or not, but at least he will be going to the gym even if he doesn't join your program (which is better than him staying at home). And you will be working towards your goals. :-D
