    Hello! I lost 10 lbs in about 1.5 months by eating healthy and working out 3x a week at the gym on the elliptical. i started at 30 mins then by the end of it i'd run for 40 mins on it. i would also do some light strength training. so yes it helps! although afterwards i got lazy and stopped going to the gym, and now i'm trying to up my habits again. 30 mins - 1hr sounds awesome. good luck!

    I LOVE using the elliptical! I feel like I get in a great cardio workout afterwards. My butt looks better to me but I don't know if it's a coincidence lol. =)

    I love the cardio from elliptical - it's my mainstay for getting my heart rate up - and I keep pushing the resistance up and up in the 20 mins I do

    that and squats, lunges, weights has really changed my mental attitude, my body shape, my musculature

    go for it - mix it up with strength training too

    Elliptical is good for Cardio work, but I wouldn't spend ages on it in one go, you need to mix it with some strength training & some HIIT ;-)
