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.


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.

You're right! Today, after I had responded to John's question, I was on
the elliptical and noticed that it has the same type of ledge that you
described on the console, designed to hold a book.
I didn't have one, but visualized having a book on the ledge and realized
that you could easily read while working out. It would block the fan, but I
don't use it anyway. I'll try it tomorrow.
