Elliptical Info:
How many calories do you burn on an elliptical?
Manufacturers claim that you can burn as much as 720 calories or more per hour
when using their elliptical machines. While the exact amount depends on many
factors, elliptical machines burn calories at a rate similar to
moderate-to-vigorous use of a treadmill or cross-country ski machine.
Advantages
Training on elliptical machines can give a total body workout in a relatively
short amount of time with little or no impact. It's great for all levels and
ages, and you can usually program your workout level. In a gym, it gives you
another piece of equipment to vary your workout. In the home, one machine can
simulate a variety of exercises. Also, many machines give you a full
cardiovascular workout in about a half an hour - an excellent boost to any
weight loss program. What's more, it's also an excellent option for seniors or
anyone else who wants a good workout without stressing the joints.
