Move it!0

If you can't move it out of the bedroom try getting a white sound machine - they're usually around $45 on Amazon and if you place it between the elliptical machine and your sleeping husband it should help quite a bit! I've had great success at using the elliptical machine in the dark :flowerforyou:0

Can't you move the elliptical to another room?0
-
Is there absolutely NO OTHER place you could put it....I'm not gonna lie...in a shared space that IS kinda rude...0
-
Yes, we had to move our treadmill. Sleep is sacred.
Or maybe he could try ear plugs. They make some decent ones now.0 -
Cramped apartment No other space available0

You don't even need to by a machine if you have a smart phone that does Apps. I have a white sound machine on my iPhone that I listen to every night as I go to sleep; $1.99 well spent!0 -
Whatever, ellipticals are quiet....waking up early won't kill him0
-
Simple solution. Move the elliptical.0
-
find another time to workout on eliptical trainer
but in the meantime you could do some floor exercises before work0 -
Why don't you work out in the evening instead? Bedrooms are for sleeping, after all.0
-
It seems to me he would be reaping the benefits of it and would learn to live with it!0
-
maybe you could strike a happy medium with your husband. use the elliptical 2x/week in the morning....on the other days, go out for a walk/jog around your neighborhood.0
-
I've never heard of white noise machines...how do they work....as for working out in the morning....I can wait until the afternoon to work out...its just nice to kickstart the morning..0
-
Maybe he needs to be a little bit more supportive. I can sleep when I'm dead.0
-
How about a workout video in the living room....or head out the door for a run. Morning runs are awesome. I don't think I could get motivated with my hubby still in bed. Lol!0

Did you know it's actually bad for your sleep and chi/energy/chakra balance (if you believe in that sort of thing) to have stuff like ellipticals and televisions in the bedroom? There should only be two things a bedroom is for, and neither of them involve exercise machines.0

I do it in the basement but it has a squeak on the machine and he hears it upstairs. Apparently he just rolls over and goes back to sleep. I could see it being annoying in the bedroom, however it's great you are working so hard!!0

This!0 -
I'd be really upset too. Listen if your up, and looking for a workout. maybe a morning handy or B would make all the difference in the world.
Tell your husband, your welcome. :smokin:
I agree with this!0 -

They just put sound out into the room - like the sound of a fan blowing or waves crashing on the beach. Some have the sound of rain falling, crickets, and all kinds of other sounds that people might find soothing. I kept one in my kids' room when they were babies to help block out all of the household sounds when they were sleeping.
Like someone said, you can get an app for iPhone if you have one or you can find one reasonably priced at places like Bed, Bath, & Beyond, Target, or on Amazon.0 -
Honestly you need to stop. It is in your home do it at another time. If my husband did this too me, it would be a rocky relationship. Try a compromise with him, if he is sleeping in too long (4or 5 hours over) then try to come to a middle.0

Put the elliptical in the living room.0

Tell him if he doesnt like it then you are going out for a run/walk and he can watch the children. lol0

I totally believe and practice this, sex and sleep that is what the bedroom is for!
Move the elliptical.

Chi/chackra and the rest of the woo/magic you mentioned aside, yes it can disrupt sleeping patterns if you learn to associate the bedroom with activities other than sleeping. It doesn't sounds like she has a choice, though.0 -

That kinda depends on your idea of an "exercise machine".... LOL!0 -
If this is the only time you have to get your workout in...then he'll have to live with it. I'm sure he'd rather have you make a little noise and keep up with looking great, then to start slacking off and gain it back, right?0

Haha! You could ask him to decide between sleep or a bigger booty?0
