Is it possible to read while using the elliptical?

Not really. Your hands and arms are occupied in the workout as well ... a
vertical rowing motion.

There are some ellipticals that have a built in video monitor/tv in the
console. Quite frankly, when I am at the peak of the resistance curve, I am
huffing and puffing and concentrating on getting through the workout.


I do it all the time. There's a ledge on the bottom of the
display panel designed to support a book, magazine, or
newspaper in a comfortable position for reading. My
hands/arms are swinging lightly at my sides and the overall
body motion leaves the head fairly steady. There may be
heavy breathing and lots of sweat but I prefer to
concentrate on something else.
