    I have one and I love it. There are different ways to use your body as resistance to maximize your workout.

    For anyone considering using the Gazelle Edge - I can recommend it specifically for people who need a low impact cardio exercise or beginners. It is quite useful for that, but not nearly as much for moderate to advanced users looking for a more vigorous cardio workout.

    It's a lightweight elliptical? Does it have resistance built in?

    Yes ellipticals work for cardio but they won't be burning 170 calories in 15 minutes so please don't eat them all back

    The calorie burn will be based on your weight and intensity

    To put this in perspective if I use a gym elliptical at 17/25 resistance (so pretty high) and 9 km/hr it would take me, at 160lbs, 14 mins to burn 100 calories

    An elliptical is around 5 mets for moderate effort ..so your bodyweight in kg x 5 will give you an hourly calorie burn estimate

    I’ve recently acquired a Gazelle Freestyle. I love it. BUT....you need to actually do a workout to get a workout. There are so many ways to use your body as resistance. Check out a video. Lean forward. Lean backward. Squat. Get on your toes. Don’t expect to lose weight just gliding.
