I'm kind of concerened. I do the elliptical everyday, the incline pretty high...is it possible?
I don't want to gain muscle. My legs are fat I need to lose fat and slim legs.

    If you were to lose both fat and muscle... what would your body be composed of?

    you gain muscle from lifting heavy weights and eating a surplus. So no.

    I believe that if you have enough resistance that you can slowly gain very small amounts of muscle over a very long time.


    This is the most asinine statement ever. OP, no, you will not build muscle using an eliptical. Even in small quantities over a long period of time.

    Perhaps if you've been in a full body cast for several months or bed ridden, an elliptical will allow you to get them gainzzzz. But then, so would standing up.
