I challenged my other half last week to an "elliptical-off" at the gym. We haven't done it yet -- I think he's afraid! ;o) LOL

He jogs several times a week and does a lot of other exercises and is in pretty good shape. I challenged him to do the elliptical against me and see who burns more calories and gets more distance or strides. Since he's a guy and runs, we decided that he would have to do 1 1/2 times what I do or I win. Winner takes the other out for a (healthy) dinner.

I figure that this challenge will get me to really push myself harder. We'll see how it ends up!
