Elliptical Success?

kieva626

Hey guys,
I'm looking to switch up my workout routine for a bit. I had been alternating between Insanity and running but my knees have begun to hurt. So I want to switch to the elliptical. Has anyone with only a little to lose (ten lbs or less) had success on the elliptical? When I use it I keep the rpm between 75 and 100 alternating directions and I get in a great sweat but will it give me weight loss?

Thankssss I look forward to hearing from you

when i initially lost weight (about 15 lbs) when i came back from being away at school my freshman year i did the elliptical A LOT. now i dont know if i lost the weight just because i was so inactive before or if it was specifically the elliptical, but it worked for me!

It's really been working for me. Work in some HIIT on it like sprints or tabata intervals. You'll get in a great workout and a great afterburn

It does as long as you have an elliptical that has a lot of different settings for fat burning. You do not want to keep your heart constant but fluctuate up and down just like HIIT. Im sure you will kick *kitten* on it

Thanks everyone I think I am going to try it out for a bit. I already do interval like training on there but I will try and switch it up more. How long should each interval be?
