bike, elliptical, and resistance

6.3 miles home to work to gym plus the leg I didn't measure of my commute, from gym to home. Whatever, I'll get to it.

Then, 20' on an elliptical with handles, one I was unfamiliar with. I choose the "cardio" program and set my maximum heartrate to 160 bpm and while I could breathe easily throughout, occasionally the resistance spiked to a point I could not push or pedal.

Then I had my complimentary gym session with a trainer. I learned some new exercises to do with a ball and handweights, but my problem is not ignorance of what I ought to do but actually doing it.
