Me vs the Machine

Ok, this is the machine I hope to conquer:

I always heard that elliptical machines were so much easier on your knees, etc than the treadmills and such. But, this machine at the Y is a killer. I cannot use it nearly as long as I can stay on a treadmill. I think I will just keep at it until I win the battle. However, several people told me that the other elliptical machines there (we have three different kinds) are much better. Maybe I'll give those a try and decide which one I like best. As of now, I use the treadmill for half of my workout and this for the other half. Then, I do the weight machines. This is the Nordic Track Power Ramp. One nice
feature is the fan!

Maybe I'm just a wimp?

I have the Nordic Track treadmill. And I LOVE the fan! I just did 20 minutes on an elliptical after an hour pilates class. I'm going back to bed now.
