Oh, hello.
We didn't see you there. Come on over, brother. We just did our hair for you because we're about to do a 10 minute killer elliptical trainer workout, of all places indoors. So this is pretty cool. This thing is really, really good for doing interval training. So I use this a lot for interval training. I've got articles@BenGreenfieldFitness.com about how elliptical training simulates running. Burns a lot of calories. Turns on your butt. Is that good to turn on your butt? I hear it's good. I hear the ladies like to do that anyways, though, so we're going to show you a workout. So this is an interval training workout where you do one minute of elliptical and then you do mountain climbers and you go back and forth. That's it. Super simple workout, but great for runners. What do you think? Should we do this?
Yeah.
All right. You want to do elliptical first or mountain climbers first? All right, you do you elliptical first. I'll do mountain climbers first. Go ahead and hop on.
