The trick with my regime is to ensure you do different muscle groups after one another - this makes the cardio work, heart needs to be pumping the blood around your body,
eg:
upper chest, upper legs quads, upper back, stomach, shoulders, calfs, lower chest, stomach, biceps, upper legs hamstrings, triceps, lower back, calfs, shoulders then repeat until you hit 20 minutes - rest and then go for another 20 mins.
note - don't increase the weight during the work out, do it the next day if you feel you need to.
I'd say if you add a run later on say a quick pace 2 miles (rather than the eliptical trainer) you'll be laughing.
Give it a go! if not now try it as a change when you get bored or your body gets 'used to' the current regime you are doing.
Good luck
