    Why don't you buy a heart monitor and try both ways and see which one burns more calories.

    My guess - and it's just a guess -is that standing would have more of a calorie burn, as you need to use more muscles to support yourself and keep stable. But you don't know very much about the burn unless you are measuring somehow.

    Most advise not to support yourself with the non moving handles when using the regular elliptical, I guess the same would apply to the elliptical bike if you were sitting down.
