You can do them backwards too. I usually do ten minutes forward, ten back, ten forward... And sometimes I go up on my toes instead of flat footed and you can *really* feel it in your calves.

Super jealous, btw. Wish I had room for one of those.

Ohhhhhh!! I didn't know that you could work it backwards as part of the work out. I mean, I know it does go backwards, but I didn't consider how that could be beneficial. I'll have to try up on my toes too! COOOL!! Great ideas and sure to help me fight boredom!!

I had to move some stuff around to get it where it is, but it helps that the wheel is in the front. The machines with the wheel in the back would have been too big to deal with.

my wife and I have a treadmill and elliptical in the basement....I am taking the dogs on their "hike" (two or four milers depending on our collective mood) until 1st snow then we use the basement

I have to deal with the rain, all the time...GRRRRRRR !! *shakes fist at NW rain gods* I won't take my pups out in the rain of if it's wet, it's just not worth it.

I think having the choice or using in combination will help get me. I like Kimmy's ideas too!
