Pretty good stats here my friend! That’s a great heart rate. A number of years ago when I was running a lot I had similar ones and the nurse was a little nervous and tried it twice then asked if I run? I guess mine was in the lower 50’s. Wish I could be that efficient now lol
Closing your eyes on the elliptical? That sounds crazy to me! Lol
I enjoyed what’s called an Arc trainer. It was a cross between an elliptical and one other one but it trained the legs better I found. Haven’t been to the gym in 5 years now though, darn kids hehe.

40's is rather impressive! I guess 15 years of smoking and plenty of beer has put me far away from that bracket.
I think I've seen the Arc trainer, is that more of a swing than the Elliptical?
Yeah the arc trainer is more of a swing motion, it really kicks your ass if you put it at some of the different settings! I would love putting it at intervals and train the shit out of my legs and lungs. Really kicked some ass! What I loved about it the most is I couldn't get completely used to it. My legs and lungs would burn when I would increase the difficulty or change it up and that was definitely a unique thing to experience!
I like the no-impact stuff. You can really push the organs without feeling the niggles and aches.
Recently I bumped the difficulty up on the Elliptical - that won't be happening again and I'll stick with level 20 of 40!
Yeah my knee doesn't appreciate the impact running at the moment, working on getting that sorted out and repaired! Hopefully I can do it but we shall see hehe. I enjoyed the arc for the impact-free running.
The craziest thing I did on the Arc was trying to do the Pikes Peak course. It was just all crazy uphill stuff lol I couldn't handle it and only did like 20 minutes.
Good luck with the knees!
