  • Wow! Thanks for the quick responses - this community is great! :) Do you think you can get the same results from an elliptical trainer as you do on a treadmill? Currently I'm just using Just Dance since it's quite fun and the sweat after 2 tracks is always a good sign :) I think though a machine will be more beneficial as…
