LOL Sherah!! I invisioning you doing the "rubber ducky" walk....hehe! Sorry, but that was worth a good giggle Anyway, maybe to help answer your question.... I have done the same thing on my elliptical when I first got it......I then realized that I needed to turn the resistance down to where my level 5 (to start) was actually at, instead of where i WISHED it was at....LOL I tend to think I can do more than I actually can, and I poop out too soon. I think the 4 sets ARE important, or else surely Bill would have said "do 4 IF you can".....instead of setting it up as it is? Just a thought

ps, if you are overheating, you CAN make yourself sick by drinking water in large quantities. Take it slow, youve got everything to gain (instead of passing out! eeek!)

Afterward I was one rubber ducky and felt like I was overheating big time. I drank 1/2 glass of water immediately afterward which made me nauseous...and 20 min later I still feel nauseous. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I wonder if I should drink a glass of water BEFORE I start. And is it okay to just do 2 reps? I think maybe I started out too hard but it felt like a 5 to me. I haven't worked out that hard in a long time, so I know that I can work up to it. I just wonder if it's important to always do 4 sets. Sherah
