fluffpop62,

Do you elliptical more backwards than you do forwards?

No, elliptical is my least favorite out of all the machines. I use it at the end of my workouts because it's a consistent calorie burner (I feel like even if I'm exhausted after doing other cardio, I burn the same amount of calories as I do when it's the first thing I work out on - stairstepper, though, the more energy I have the better workout I get).

Funny that you ask, because I read in a magazine that you burn more calories going backwards, but when I tried to compare it w/ 5 minutes forward v. 5 minutes backward it was the same amount of calories.

If anybody gets the chance, the TreadClimber is the most fun you can have while working out (IMHO, obviously).
