People think the moving arms on an elliptical ‘work out the upper body’. How do you respond to this statement?

Hi Joe,
My response would be that they’re “working out their heart muscle” and just happen to be using their upper body (along with their lower body) to do so. It reminds me when runners used to tell me that they do plenty of work to strengthen their legs by running – nothing changes!
