I have a lot of dream holiday gifts dancing around in my head, and among the way-out-of-my-league designer clothes and fantasy vacations is an elliptical trainer. I know that sounds crazy and that most guys are warned to steer clear of presents like this for their wives and girlfriends, but personally, I would love it.

I try to go to the gym everyday, but sometimes, with traffic, work and family responsibilities, the need for sleep and a million other road blocks, it’s just not possible. For those reasons, I’ve always thought it’d be such a luxury to get a good workout at home. Especially when I’m waiting in line for an elliptical (they never, ever have enough of those things!) or having to give up my exercise machine after 30 minutes whether I’m ready or not. If I had my own, I could sweat ’til my heart’s content and work off those festive holiday pounds in no time. That’s why I’ve had my eye on this Schwinn 418 Elliptical Trainer, and I’ve been dropping major hints.

I like this Schwinn Elliptical because it’s a solid piece of equipment. It has 8 levels and 11 programs, which keeps things interesting. Plus, it’s going for only $649 online at Mercantila.com, and that’s about $350 off the regular price. You can also get 5% off with Mercantilia’s flexible financing.

Give the gift of sweat! It’s pretty romantic.
