Hey there, pals! I hope this weekend's treating you right.

I've been itching to get in shape, and a buddy suggested an under-desk elliptical for a quick workout during work hours. It's a win-win, right?

I'm planning to include this in my daily routine, and I'd love any suggestions for the best under-desk elliptical. Speaking of suggestions, I've created a Discord group for this column and Connections. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the game and share strategies. It's a great platform to provide feedback, too!
