Who gets their exercise by elliptical and elliptical only? I use mine around 5 times a day. The soreness is unreal when first starting, mine is almost unbearable right now. But I'm going to keep pushing myself! I have a Weslo Momentum. Which kind do you have and how much time do you spend with it? (Oh and does anyone know how the machines calculate distance?)

    Kim, now I m using the eliptical for my cardio, and for the most, up to 1 hour a day.......sometimes 1.5, Im just trying to keep my cardio going strong, I want to focus on my breathing, so I put the resistance up to 20 , the highest setting and I do use the recipocal arms, which not only helps leg muscles, but it helps your arms, i.e, bi cepts.............I gotta tell you, I lost tons of weight off of my *kitten*, and esp around the waist line...........it was a god send, and I really say that it had a major impact in removing pounds from my lower half..........again, this is for me, some people it may affect differnently, and normally I can burn about 1100 calories in 65 mins.........best wishes, Lloyd
