How do I get started?
It's quite simply really. Just choose your individual workouts OR select the 4-pack special and complete your checkout process on our secure payment page.
Once you purchase your Elliptical Workouts you’ll receive an email from us with the download links for your workouts.
Within that email, just click on the links and your workouts will then be downloaded and saved on your computer - now you can easily upload them onto your iPod or MP3 player and you're ready to get started!
All you need to enjoy the program is an iPod/MP3 player, an elliptical machine, and the desire to have a great cardio workout. That's it!
What if I've never worked out before OR what if I'm more advanced?
The Elliptical Workouts have been designed for all fitness levels. Regardless of your fitness level you can enjoy these cardio workouts since they have been uniquely designed using your initial fitness level as a starting point.
Therefore, as you become fitter, the workouts inherently become more challenging as you're able to work at higher speeds and intensities relative to your ever-increasing aerobic fitness.
However, with that said, Elliptical Workouts 1 and 2 have been designed for the beginner/intermediate level while Elliptical Workouts 3 and 4 are slightly more advanced.
What type of elliptical machine can I use?
There are many different forms of elliptical machines on the market. Not to worry - the Elliptical Workouts have been designed for use on ANY type of elliptical. Whether your machine has movable arm attachments or not, these workouts will work perfectly as long as you can adjust the resistance and speed.

How large (memory space) are the Elliiptical Workout MP3 files?
The MP3 workouts range in size from 40-60 MB and are small enough to fit on any ipod or mp3 player.
Depending on your connection speed, these files may take up to 5-10 minutes to download.
What happens if I have an iPod Shuffle or Nano? Will the workouts still fit?
Of course! Most iPod Shuffles can hold up to 1 GB and Nanos can hold up to 8 GB. Since our workouts range in size from 40-60 MB you can easily upload them onto an iPod Nano or iPod shuffle.
What kind of internet connection do I need?
It is recommended that you have a high speed connection to the internet in order to facilitate and speed download times. The MP3 files are compressed in a zip file which makes the download more efficient and easier to download.
Our server has the capacity to handle thousands of visitors at a time but that is only one component of the process. The other component is the service provider in which you use to connect to the internet. If your server has limited bandwidth it could corrupt your download.
How long does is take for the workouts to download onto my computer?
They should take no more than 5-10 minutes to download.
We've zipped all the workouts into zip files in order to speed the download process as best possible.
I didn't get my download email(s) yet? Am I missing something?
Sometimes our download emails may get filtered into your junk or spam box. Please double check those locations before contacting us directly.
Also, please give our email system a few minutes to get the emails through to you. Sometimes they appear instantly, other times it may take a few minutes to arrive in your inbox.
