    I use it almost every day! You can do all kinds of levels, resistance, set your HR to a certain level...wish I had one at my house haha

    I LOVE the eliptical! I use it 5x a week. You can change the resistance and do certain settings- like cardio and fat burner. I usually do the fat burner and am sweating in the first 5 minutes! It took me a week or so to get in the groove. I do about 1.20 miles in 30 minutes. GOOD LUCK! :)

    I bought one off of Craigs List for $60 and LOVE IT! Elliptical Trainers are great for loosing weight. They not only are great for cardio, but they sculpt as well! If you use a push pull motion, and also if you tighten your abs, they give you a great upper body workout. It's really wonderful for all areas of your body. You'll love it! It's a great investment.

    I used it for a long time! I loved it!! You can change the settings to make it not as boring.....I am now on a spin bike kick.....and if not, I run.....but the elliptical is a great machine!!

    I use it once in awhile, and I did today. 30 minutes on cross country. Can get my heart rate in the 160 range. Its a good machine. Take your time and build up your endurance. You don't get the pounding on your knees that running does.
