Dale, I agree that the elliptical trainers are too strange for me as well. The walking motion seems unnatural even though they say it is supposed to be very natural. I'll take the treadmill any day.
Also, I know that the weight machines in our gym are pretty far from true, if the latt pulldown machine is any indication. I weigh about 160 pounds. With the latt machine on 130 pounds I couldn't drag the bar down under my own weight. I either had to jam my knees under the pads and use my legs to help me pull it down, or have my buddy help me pull it down until I could get in the seat and locked in. That's a pretty big difference. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University. E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: (412) 268-9081
