Elliptical question

I have a kind of cheapy elliptical, I love it and everything, but I kind of get bored on it. I noticed some of the fancy ones have a little bookshelf type thing... what do you think I can rig up to it to make a little shelf? I don't want to get bored with it, makes me not want to do it, although I still will...

    if you are walking on the elliptical slow enough to be able to see a book or magazine, then i wouldnt log your calories as elliptical.. i would log them as walking. Just FYI.

    As far as the shelf.. hmm... maybe something with velcro? Ill have to think about that!

    Can't you watch tv or listen to music or audio book?

    I got it! How about one of those 8X10 clear plastic (hard) that flyers go in? You know like this: https://www.clearlds.com/productcart/pc/Desk-Top-Display-Acyrlic-Premium-Molded-Easel-Style-Display-BMTVE-1-21p640.htm

    You could use 2 back to back. Glue them together and use the lip of one to hang (velcro?) on the elliptical and the othe lip to hold your book/iPod ect..

    Good luck!

    there is NO way that I can read on the elliptical. Initially, I listened to the radio but finally bought a small TV and mounted it nearby. I pop in a dvd or watch something on the DVR and its 45 min later.

    I-pod is the only way to go for me!! Helps me keep a beat and makes me think I am dancing instead of excercising.
