The verb (in the past tense) that describes the action of using an elliptical machine. This is more convenient and quicker than saying "I used the elliptical machine".

The Elliptical Trigonometry is an original study introduced by Claude Ziad Bayeh in 2004 and it is published by WSEAS Journal transaction on Mathematics. It is the general case of the traditional trigonometry. The concept of the Elliptical Trigonometry is completely different from the traditional trigonometry in which the study of angles is not the relation between sides of a right triangle that describes a circle as the previous one, but the idea here is to use the relation between angles and sides of an ellipse form with the internal and external circles formed by the intersection of the ellipse form and the positive parts of x’ox and y’oy axis in the Euclidian 2D space and their projections. This new concept of relations opened a huge gate in the mathematical domain and it can resolve many complicated problems that are difficult or almost impossible to solve with the traditional trigonometry. The main advantage of this new trigonometry is that it can describe a huge number of multi form periodic signals by varying 2 parameters which are not possible with the traditional trigonometry. It has huge applications such as Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Signal Processing and all topics related to the trigonometry.

Person who watches television while working out at home on an elliptical trainer, on the base of a rating system in which tv shows get labeled as "worth watching from the couch" or "can totally be seen during exercise".

The tv shows belonging to this last category are watched just to keep track of the story while waiting for the occasional good episode that justifies remaining attached to a series that outrunned it's original concept, or for that one-per-episode cool computer graphic effect. They can be followed just fine by listening and looking at the screen every 5 seconds or so. In the case of movies, they usually are cheap B movies often downloaded from the internet or rented by mistake.

The key concept of this activity is multitasking, originating from the fact that:
a) one has not enough couch-time to watch tv from sitting positions
b) one lacks the determination to stay put and watch a now boring show just to see how it ends
c) one wants something to distract him from the pains of fat-burning.
