Often times, the problem with ellipticals is that people use all legs. The elliptical is designed to resemble a cross-country skiing type of workout, which should ideally be using 50 legs, 50 arms to push and pull.

Next time, if you're interested, try not moving your legs at all and let your arms do all the push-pull.
