You don’t maintain your speed
workout
The difference between an elliptical and a treadmill is that you control your speed versus the machine doing it for you. You should be able to keep a steady pace, even once you increase the resistance. “It’s a balance between the speed and resistance. If you cannot maintain both those things past a certain amount of time, don’t work past that time. [Instead] gradually add,” says Jessica Sander, a group fitness manager at Sports Center at Chelsea Piers in New York City. If you’re going to up the ante during your weekly gym sweat session, you better wipe off that make-up or else; you may break out or worse, get wrinkles.
