    I use my HRM and it shows that I burn between 500-700 cals in 35 mins on the Elliptical. Way above what the machine tells me I've burned.
    mine is always off by about 100-150 lower on the elliptical. HRM is lower then the machine. however... on the treadmill it is usually higher on on HRM by 200-250! my advise... HRM!

    is 30 mins 6 days a week on the eliptical enough excercise?? or should i do more.... reminder: i am doing this at home
    ive always heard 30-45 min of exercise is perfect for 5 days per week. i however go wayyy overboard. i had a trainer once tell me that im not doing any good bc i work out too long and it puts my body into shock. i dont know that i believe this as i continue to do the same thing everytime. lol. i think u are doing wonderful! keep up the awesome work!

    I can relate. I don't feel right if I have anything left over after a workout. So I tend to push it as far as I can every time. Besides it's fun when your knees are all wobbly and don't want to carry you to the shower. I bet it fun to watch too.
