Using the elliptical was never comfortable or natural. Finally, I caught on to what "elliptical" meant. I knew the meaning of the word but not in relation to the machine I had or the machine a person sits on. I know, pretty dumb.
The motion of the elliptical was not working for me because I was trying to pedal. Like a bike. At times, it seemed I stalled even though I was trying. Then, when I stalled it was as though the machine was trying to back pedal. I was hating the whole thing--the elliptical motion.
One day, somehow I hurt my ankle. So, the elliptical motion was painful even though walking was and no problem. I solved all this.
I am returning the elliptical and getting a machine that pedals like a bike. The upside of that is the pedal machine is about $100 cheaper!
For some reason, the last two orders from Amazon have not been successful. One order was for grandchildren, so I suppose I am in trouble!
Some of the dishes in the sink were in a dishpan that was so coated and nasty. I was afraid Tommy would want to keep it. There is nothing wrong with it. But, I was not going to stand and scrub it. I asked him if he wanted to keep it. "No." Good.
Has anyone used an elliptical and found it unsatisfactory as far as the motion?
