and conditioning...I do 45 min at a setting where I go a bit over 4 mi and burn 500 calories. With 2 torn ACLs, it is one of the few really intense aerobic things I can do and get a good calorie burn - no more running for me! Smooth motion is pretty easy on my knees.

but that 45 min is not easy to get through - I am sure to use my iPod and have something with a good beat going!
