Wait.. ellipticals are fun?

I finally decided to use that machine I always thought was reserved for like.. well, not me. Certainly not for a 36 year old newly athletic dude such as myself.

I learned a couple things. First, it's actually pretty damn fun. Easily the most fun I have had on a cardio machine, it's bouncy and there's a fair bit of variety you can use... I mean don't break it but you wanna throw in a couple one legged rpm's for giggles, that's probably fine.

More importantly, it seems to stimulate my heart rate without making my muscles or lungs burn as much. I was sweating as much, but maintaining a higher level of heart rate was less physically uncomfortable.

I dunno, I'm 10 years into this fitness thing and still getting schooled all the time, but this one really got me stoked on cardio again. Cheers.
