From there, I moved to the rower but had some difficulty with the programmer and couldn't access the caloric burn but I kept an eye on the time and did 5 minutes of moderate to strenuous rowing, which Google says is about 43 calories.
Then I did 3 rope pulldowns. They have a continuous rope that is looped through a machine several times and you pull on it to work your arms, shoulders and back so I did 3 full rounds of pulling it through. I have no idea how long it is but it starts to burn pretty quickly.
That was followed by 25 squats and then it was back to the rower. I got in 3 minutes of good, quality rowing.
25 squats.
3 rope pulldowns.
2 minutes of rowing.
Then, I did my cool down on the elliptical again. I was going to use the recumbent bike but another gym goer still had his stuff next to it so that was that.

Tada!
I feel great! I wish I could bottle the feeling of a good, hard workout. I'd be a billionaire.

But in terms of "currency" you are by proxy an Cazillionaire because your heart is in the right place, I think. Every time you choose to stretch your 'wings' you've done your health bank account an huge favor.
Members who post about their exercise activities inspire me. By sharing your story, I remain committed to not giving up.
Thanks especially to all of you!
