There Are Cobwebs On My Elliptical!!!

:eek:

I woke up this morning and turned towards the window, and there, in the thin ray of sunlight that shone on my elliptical, was a big old cobweb waving to and fro in the breeze from my ceiling fan. My poor Eli (the name I've given my elliptical) has been neglected for the past 3 weeks!! I last took a wild ride with Eli and Coach Sean right before I left for Italy, 3 weeks ago tomorrow. I've made a pledge to dust him off and treat him to CC #4 today. :7

So do any of you have exercise equipment that needs a good dusting?:p :7
 
We've got a Power Rider in the cellar. I hated that thing, so it will stay there. My street bike could be taken out, though. It's past due.
 
>Dust or cobwebs on my cardio machines????.....nah......:+ :7

Why does that not surprise me? ;)

Truth be told, the only cardio equipment I have is a treadmill, which gets used 3x a week - so it is surprisingly dust-free, except for the motor-housing, which is covered with both dust AND sweat! Those sweat drops are little badges of honor - I feel guilty cleaning them up. :p

I never go out of town!!!....I do have sweat drops all over my Elliptical, and most likely some on my TV screen!...
 
Carol, if I ever get word that you've been neglecting your cardio equipment, I will personally come to your house and escort you to the doctor for a thorough check up:7

Just for the record, my Eli is also covered in sweat, thanks to my love affair with Cardio Coach. Prior to that...well, let's just say I sneezed a lot from all the dust;)
 
I would DIE for an elliptical! :)

I know it is a different story once you have one.........you may not use it as much as you think you will!

My condo is too small for any exercise equipment!!!! Someday, when my DH and I have a house, we are going to designate a workout room!

With limited workout space - this is how I got into Cathe! So I should be thankful there! :)

THANK YOU CATHE!!!!!!!

I LOVE my elliptical! Cardio workouts seemed like punishment to me until I discovered Cardio Coach and bought an elliptical. Now it's my #1 form of cardio and I literally have to force myself to cross train. ;( ;)

When you're ready to purchase a cardio machine, you can't go wrong with an elliptical trainer, and using it in conjunction with audio guided workouts like Cardio Coach, is simply a match made in heaven -- THAT from a girl who HATES cardio :p :7
 
Michele should be reported to the authorities for Eli Abuse!!! :7 :7 :7 <ok...I'm tired and easily amused...>
 
Wow - I never thought I'd see the day when you neglected Eli, Michele! But you do have a good excuse and I'm sure both he and Sean will forgive you. ;)

Now get to work.
 
Not dust but my Treadmill cannot be put down now because there are packed boxes everywhere. Today I must pack up my Cathe's. Sigh..... I can't wait till everything is done!

What is Cardio Coach?? I also have a Nordic Track Space Saver which is covered in sweat...what are you supposed to clean it with?? Do you have a iFit card with your NT???
 
I don't have an ellipical, but now I want one, after seeing a clip of one in use from Carole's link. It looks like running without the impact. Is that a pretty good idea of how it works?

I have a treadmill that is used weekly, two or three times. It gets dusty and sweaty anyway.

fitnessfanaticfromMN...I use one of the electronic cleaners (like for TV screens) on my Elliptical to clean it. Cardio Coach is a collection of audio workouts for any cardio machines www.cardiocoach.com I like iTrains (also audio workouts) better myself as it is just a personal preference www.itrain.com

Sandra...an Elliptical gets you the closest movement to running there is, without the impact. Here is another description I found online: "The elliptical trainer provides a high energy, low impact work out. It will increase the heart rate as if the person is in an aerobic exercise, and burn calories at a fast rate while maintaining a low impact work out on your ankles, knees, and joints"....HTH...:)

Thank you, Carole! :) This sounds wonderful!
