So, I love to use my elliptical trainer. I want to be able to use it for an hour a day, but my feet go numb after half an hour....so my question is...if I do 2, 30 minute sessions, is that just as good at fat burning as 1, 1 hour long session? I hope that makes sense. :ohwell:

    yes...

    calories burned are calories burned. if you want to go that route..maybe try HIIT. burn same amount of calories in less time.

    7. You spin until you can’t feel your feet.

    One of the most common elliptical mistakes is putting too much pressure on your toes, which can make your feet go numb and cut your workout short. Instead, sit back into your heels, which allows large muscle groups to work harder and gives you the stamina to go for longer.

    this is exactly what i was going to mention! i can easily go an hour + on the elliptical and sitting back onto my heels has helped tons, ive also noticed it works my legs more and i get more of a workout from it!
