I’ve been watching videos (okay fine, anime episodes…) while peddling away on this baby. It is SO FUN. My brother was watching with me and turned at said…”Omgod you are so sweaty.” It’s not as challenging as running or the real elliptical, but it works your quads & calves, and is moderate cardio. It’s actually pretty relaxing…if you are just lounging watching TV or a movie, might as well hop on one of these! My roommates do this almost every night (there’s squeeks a lot though). Oh and I got way more into the shows since exercising increases my sense of urgency and this inner passion for life lol. Anyways, I’ve blogged about this elliptical trainer before, but it may be a nice thing to put on your Christmas list! Currently on sale for $90.00 (originally $200 when first released)
