I feel like a total gym failure today. I started off with the warm up on the treadmill like normal but then I moved onto the elliptical. The elliptical killed my knee and my desire to workout. The machine is a great workout but there is something about that repetitive motion that makes my knee act up. I knew there was a reason I always skipped this machine. As you can see from my workout I didn't make it very long on the elliptical. I should have just skipped it and went straight to the arc-trainer. Because of the knee pain that began with the elliptical it was hard to stay on the other machines because the damage had been done at that point.

31 minutes later my workout was done and I went home feeling like a failure. Who does 4 machines in 30 minutes?! That is not a workout at all!

I guess I shouldn't be so hard on myself because a lot of people don't even make it to the gym but I was striving to do more and I feel like I let myself done. I should also add that I went straight from work and didn't think to bring a snack. I was starving when I walked into the gym therefore making my workout seem like forever because I was ready for lunch. Next time I go after work I will bring a snack.

Here is to a better workout next time!
