    I would think so. At the least it boost your endurance. Maybe some days with, some days without?

    Wearing 25 extra pounds (as long as they are distributed properly) means you'll burn cals as if you were 25lbs heavier.

    Wouldn't it be easier just to increase the resistance on the elliptical? I'm afraid I would hurt myself wearing weights on the elliptical, lol.
