So I've been losing weight lately and everyone at work has some odd interest in the current status of my weight loss, etc, and how i'm doing it. Anyway, I usually run on an elliptical trainer at the gym, and today there was this big argument brought up by one of the douche bigelows in the tooling dept. about how guys that run on ellipticals are gay. Of course it all goes back to the guy with the pony tail on the Gazelle Freestyle infomercials, but whatever. What are your thoughts? While you're pumping iron do you see me working my fat *** on the elliptical and think to yourself, man, what a queer?

Oh, I know that the Gazelle isn't an elliptical trainer, but that was the opposes arguments support for the gay view.

There is a reason they put the eliptical trainers in front of the bench presses, and is not because I want to see "your" ***** flying around like yoyos. kthxbye!

I find them a little awkward, so I use the stairclimber. They sure have a hell of a lot more elliptical machines than stair climbers at my gym though.





Remember the heroes that say that have been going to the gym for years and look exactly the same as when they started. 20 minutes working out, 2 hours yakking and watching everyone else every day.

I think they're a good alternative to a treadmill, if you have rough knees or don't want the impact of running. I don't like them because the weight never leaves my feet, which causes my feet to hurt really bad after a while (flat footed).



If you working out, worry about what your body looks like afterward, not what you look like during.



Hell, if you're doing squats, you have to jut your *** out like a bitch in heat, unless you want to hurt your back.

I acquired a Gazelle when my wifes fat *** cousin decided to ditch her boyfriend and move into my house so she could leave her **** and run back to him 3 days later.





**** Gazelles.
