Default Dramatically improved my workout in 1 easy step

I wore new shoes.

For the past week, I've been REALLY exhausted after working out on the Elliptical machine for an hour. Plus my right foot started hurting, and would ache when I walked to the bathroom at night.

So I tried tossing my 2005 purchased, worn old shoes and using my new $120 ones I bought for walking.

WOW what a huge difference. I felt like going for a jog after my hour was up, and I increased my intensity a level (Difficulty 11 now for my last 20 minutes). For some reason, my mind didn't believe shoes were important since I was not actually in forward motion, but they are!

LOL I remember doing the same thing--both in the gym and with walking. I now look at good shoes as an investment and go through about 3-4 pairs a year. It's worth every cent not to have aches and pains when I work out. Good for you for figuring it out, John.

Really, really good tip - I should do that. The ones I have are just not comfortable anymore. I thought it was because I was tired. Heh heh, maybe my shoes are old!

I really need a new pair of shoes too. Maybe I could shave a few minutes off my 6K?

Thanks for the tips
