I think elliptical machinery should be an Olympic sport. They could switch it out with archery in the decathlon,(it's more of a skill anyways),to ease it into the mainstream first and eventually it will explode onto the scene like snowboarding. I can see it now, moms across the world competing against those half their age only to stand on the podium with a gold medal hanging around their neck at the end.
Okay, so it may never reach that awe inspiring status, but it does have it's benefits. The main perk being that you can get a great cardio workout in the privacy of your own home. This means you never have to worry about the weather, looking like a red faced, sweaty mess in a gym, or have to suppress the urge to breathlessly belt out Sweet Child of Mine when it comes up on your Ipod shuffle. If you do this though just be prepared to be mercilessly ridiculed by anyone within earshot. You may think that you're killing two birds with one stone by cultivating your Karaoke talent while simultaneously strengthening your heart but they'll think you're shrieking in pain and in need of 911 assistance.
