I love my elliptical.  I LOVE my elliptical!  Did I mention that I love my elliptical?!?  =D

It kicks my butt!  I just did 45 minutes and I am sweaty and my heart is still pumping and I feel like I just DID something!  When I get that thing crankin’ I feel like - like I’m running!  Only without the body parts flopping around LOL!!  I feel like I’m doing something that I definitely would not have been able to do 38 pounds ago.  I feel like I’m packing in some really good calorie-burning effort into a short period of time.  I feel energetic and healthy and more flexible, if that makes any sense at all.  I just feel GOOD.

I musta went over the edge… I never would have imagined that sweating my ass off would be something I actually look forward to.  =D

    Ah! The elliptical madness is now the elliptical high! Watch out - you’ll become a junky too. Isn’t it exhilarating when you really get pumping? So much more exciting than other forms of cardio for me.

    It’s an awesome machine. I used to term it the wipe-you-out machine. I love how it burns calories twice as fast as a treadmill and sometimes it seems easier. Like gliding and running, it makes you feel kind of free and powerful. Best of all though is the calories it burns. Way to go, excellent workout! Keep up the great work, so glad you are enjoying it
