Harder or longer?

You like that title, eh? ;)

I've noticed my calorie burn decreasing with each workout recently! I go 3 miles on the elliptical at resistance intervals of 5 then 8. I I'm generally in the gym around an hour. Should I bump the resistance higher or go for more miles?

    Intensity over duration always! It increases your calorie burn post workout for longer.

    I tend to agree, intensity over mileage. I work out in the morning and due to limited time I have to up my intensity.

    But be careful, my former work-out buddy kept showing off and getting injured. Take it slow :wink:

    Personally, I like it harder and longer!

    Okay, seriously though, I would go longer. Speed will catch up, work on your endurance.
