Elsie Too Feb 2021 9:17am, 8 Feb 2021 3,704 posts	0 Elsie Too I'm not going so well - but feel like all I do on here is moan about my back! I walked 3 miles on Saturday but that was too much so did nothing yesterday and now that it's snowed I will stay indoors as I don't want to risk slipping. I've recalculated my mileage and I now need 2.8 miles per day to stay on track and I'm not managing that far most days so falling further behind. My hope is that as the weather improves, so will my back, and if this lockdown ever ends and we can get out to exercise more than once per day I can start adding miles by doing a few shorter walks each day. What do you think about using an elliptical trainer to add miles? I might ask my osteo if he thinks that would be OK to try.
Elsie Too Feb 2021 8:03am, 9 Feb 2021 3,713 posts	0 Elsie Too I've seen some comments on the facebook page saying eliplical shouldn't count. So back to trying to be patient for my back and the weather to come together.
The Great Raemondo Feb 2021 9:04am, 9 Feb 2021 7,214 posts	0 The Great Raemondo FB commenters can knob off, IMNSHO. It's your challenge, you count whatever you want to count.
Sweetie Feb 2021 9:08am, 9 Feb 2021 8,829 posts	0 Sweetie I agree with Rae, after all it's a personal challenge, not a race. If you're unsure Elsie, email the organisers, I reckon they'd agree under the circumstances and then you can log the elliptical trainer with a clear conscience.
Welshpoppy Feb 2021 9:21am, 9 Feb 2021 489 posts	0 Welshpoppy I don't do FB but agree with Rae! I agree with Sweetie email organisers explain about your back and I am sure they will allow it.

Elsie Too Feb 2021 11:06am, 9 Feb 2021 3,716 posts	0 Elsie Too response from end to end: Thanks for your email. I'm sorry to hear that you're suffering from back problems. However, the only event that allows all forms of exercise such as Elliptical trainer is Route 66. Back to plan A of of catching up when/if the weather and back improves. Or maybe I'll start walking around my garden again like I did last year when we were shielding for my son. That way I can do one walk a day of what ever distance I can manage probably at lunch time and add in some round and round the garden before and after work.
