Elliptical’s can be strange. I agree, sometimes they are fun and sometimes annoying.
Does the one you’re using have incline? Arm Handles? And/or the ability to pedal backwards?
If you gym has different models, then take the time to check out the other kinds, you might find some of the other features more to your liking.
Thanks for using Sweat365!

I used the one with arm handles that could be pedalled forwards and backwards. I really don’t like the incline ones. Ellipticals can be fun, I agree, I just don’t feel as if I work as hard on those. I tried the arc trainer last week…ooh that was tough! I loved it!
Thanks, Sweat365 is great!

I agree, one problem with elipticals is getting a good workout… I find that I can only get a really good workout if I use an incline one and set it really high and go fast. Although the arm things add a little extra to help get my hear rate up.
What’s an “arc trainer”? I don’t think I’ve seen those before.

An arc trainer is like an elliptical but the motion is a little different. It’s almost like a cross between an elliptical and a stepper (you’re stepping, but with the cyclic motion of an elliptical). These also have an incline option.
Here’s a picture of it: http://www.fit-shop.com/images/equipment/cybex/cybex-arc-trainer-600a.jpg
