I was moving my elliptical and it broke. The bar the foot rest is on has a bushing that is welded to anither bar that spins and it broke. No idea what to do.

    OMG!!! Mine did that!!!! We fixed it with "JB Weld". It's super strong appoxy made for metal! (It needs to sit longer than instructions say, in a warm place).

    This isn't a safe area to run in. I did find some YouTube full body workout videos though.

    It’s super easy to do body weight exercises from home. I do every day and don’t regret getting rid of my elliptical. Let me know if you need help researching.

    I just came across some videos called "walk at home" by Leslie on YouTube from a friend on here. It's 15-20mins that you walk to a fast beat while also using your arms and doing kicks too. I watched a bit of one and it looks so much more fun and i plan to do it in the morning instead of my elliptical tomorrow.
