Resistance is no longer futile

I decided to make things slightly more difficult on the Elliptical today. I decided to increase the resistance up to a 5 (thus far, I'd been at the lowest setting.....it goes up to 15). I definitely felt it and didn't go as fast as I usually do. When I was finished, I noticed I had burned more calories that way. Perhaps in a couple weeks I'll change that incline. I figure if I start gradually increasing the resistance and incline I might kick my behind out of the plateau it seems to be stuck in. We'll see how it goes.
