The Gazette's 2006 Fitness Challenge has come to the end of its run. For 12 weeks, 46-year-old stay-at-home mom Shawn Farrell and 37- year-old accountant/martial arts school owner David Barnett worked with Gazette fitness columnist Milo Bryant to get in shape and achieve a number of fitness goals.
The workouts that cardio machines provide are usually pretty monotonous. Treadmills are walked upon. Elliptical trainer foot beds move forward and back, forward and back. Stair climbers and stationary bikes are pedaled the same way, day after day.
