Easy Peasy Exerceasy

[Utah Bob #35998]

I was grumpily walking on the treadmill this afternoon and noticed that the walking belt was slightly off center. So I got out the  manual and looked up how to correct it. Pretty simple. Start it up let it run at 1-1.5 mph and turn the left adjusting screw until the belt moves back to center. 

Got ‘r done. Then I noticed from the digital info panel that I had burnt several calories while on the floor adjusting the belt! 

It counts your calories whether you’re on it or not! My pulse was really low too according to the screen.

This changes everything. Turn on the treadmill, sit down in a chair and watch those calories burn away.

Win win exercise program the way I see it. 

Time for some pizza.

I’m gonna try this.  

 

Dang.  The calorie count on my recumbent bike didn’t change unless I moved the pedals.

 

Foiled again.

We have 3 or 4 exercise stuff in our house. Makes great clothes hangers but I haven't lost any weight.

Next time, turn the resistance down and spin the pedals up really fast. Then put your feet up on the frame until it coasts down. Have a shot of scotch while coasting.

Same for my darn rowing machine. Have to pull the bar to count calories.
