7. Did I reach my goal?
๏ YES I did reach my goal.
In about 4 weeks I was able to reach
40 minutes on the elliptical with no
problem.
The most helpful part of reaching my
goal was making sure I scheduled
in time to workout every day. Even
on my busy days I made sure I put
in my planner a certain time I would
go to the gym.Also on My Fitness
Pal you can become friends with
people which helped me motivate
myself when I saw that others
worked out that day.
