Segments, Segments, Segments

I just realized how AWESOME it is to set what ever cardio-machine you are exercising on whether it be the treadmill, an elliptical, or even the cycle to set the Time Mode on SEGMENT!

Let me explain my *jaw dropping* discovery…  ;-)

I normally set the time mode on Normal which starts the time from 0:00 - 30:00.  Well, I don’t know about you, but I always catch myself staring down at that damn countdown where it seems to move slower and slower to my end time.

So the other day, I randomly messed with the settings on the elliptical and instead of leaving the time settings on Normal where it counts UP, or Time Remaining where it counts DOWN, I set it at Segments and long behold anytime I saw myself glancing back at the time it would stare right back at me with a friendly and reasonable 7:00-8:00min. left - counting downward ;-) Now that’s more like it.

The next thing I knew I was on the machine for practically an hour!

So long story short, if you don’t already set the time mode when you get on one of those machines, I strongly suggest you place it on Segments especially if you are a time peaker like me.

It’s well worth it and made my week ;-)
