warming up before getting on the elliptical

upsidedownpear

What kind of warm up exercises do you do before getting on the elliptical trainers? I usually set the machine in the fat burning zone but reach the heart beat of 170 on an average during the 30 mins session.

Can I warm up for 5 mins on the machine itself till my heart rate increases to about 125?

(I'm talking heart rates because I need to control the intensity between warm-up vs exercise..right?)

whether I'm doing bike, treadmill, or elliptical, I always do a real easy warm up on the machine for 5 minutes.....something I picked up from my trainer that has just stuck with me as a habit.....
