There have been quite a few threads done on this. Most recently was one by lucas9000, but also do a search.

I feel like a retard every time I use this. My feet keep slipping off the pedals so clearly I'm doing something wrong.

Keep your feet flat on the pedals or lift up on the balls of your feet like you're stepping?

Me too. I really prefer a stairmaster. The motion of these things is never right for my stride.

Yeah, the stairmaster's always taken when I'm there. Glad to see I'm not the only one who can't do the elliptical right. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hmm, that's what I was doing. Maybe too much though. Guess I'll try it again on Tuesday.

I've done stuff like this for getting lean and it's cooks off fat much faster than aerobics.
