Elliptical Trainers

[paris04]

I bought an elliptical trainer and I always have to tell everyone how much I love it. I was never really interested in exercise or keeping in shape, I always WANTED to but never really got into doing it on a regular basis, I would go through phases.

Anyone else have an elliptical trainer?

I have a calendar and chart my exercise and how long I exercised, etc. I have also started to use exercise DVDs as well, I have a pilates DVD for beginners and a "10 minute kickboxing" DVD.

Dont forget to change your routine every few weeks, so your body wont "get used to the workout" and hit a plateau.

We are designed to move our own bodies without the use of these "fitness machines." Save your money and walk/jog, run, climb stairs, do burpees and pushups and air squats etc... There, I just saved you a thousand bucks on a piece of equiptment that truely will not make you a fitter human being.

Some people like them cuz they have this nifty ledge that you can set your magazine on that you are reading while you are "working out."

I love the elliptical, very easy on the knees. I'd trade the elliptical any day for that cursed stepmill.
