As goofy and crazy as it sounds I am a big fan of using the Wii FIT as a training tool. There are a couple of other type 'games' as well that I have. Since you already use an elliptical which is great for cardio, the Wii helps with flexibility, strength and coordination. I have used it the past two knee surgeries and after my back surgery. It is suprising how much of a work out you can get with them. It really is a great supplemental training tool. The PT I go to is setting up about 4 of them to use with some of his patients.
I know it doesn't sound "macho" and all, but it IS effective.
