When I first started using an elliptical at home I would do so while watching tv. I started with a 30 minute show, I’d rest during commercials and slowly I would take out commercials or only rest for the first one. Then on to longer shows when a 30min show became easy.

I also like exploring my city’s trails year round as we have lots of local wildlife and riverfront. I put on my warm clothes and go exploring. Stay out as long as you feel comfortable or go with friends. My dog is my best hiking and walking partner. She’s up for a walk whenever.
