[action]

Looks like pretty good exorcise, I'd like to hear how you get on ;)

I'm guessing that requires more coordination than I have....

 

Let us know....

[Susana]

OK.

 

I tried one just like those in the pic. ElliptiGO! They had to shorten the handlebar, as I´m just 1.60cm. The rest of the bike is the same for everybody.

 

Very good.

 

The only coordination required was to actually get on and start going. When I tried it I was hungover so I blame it on that :wacko:

 

Once you go... you GO!. Super-fun. No impact, easy exercise (or exorcise indeed). You are looking at where you are going so you kind-of forget you are "riding an elliptical", which is exactly what it is. Easy to maneouvre, just like a "normal" bike.

 

The only "con" is that you have to stay on the road (or the promenade in my case), no off road or rough terrain. You need to have a good network of safe paved roads around your house to be able to enjoy one of these. They do go fast.

 

When I jumped down, and until today (that was Tuesday), my legs wobbled, and my thighs are sore. But... it is an elliptical!

 

100% recommend you try it if you resent the "torture" bit of the elliptical torture machine. This is so fun that you don´t realise you are working out.

 

:good:
