    Love the elliptical. I do an hr. at a time doing hill intervals. Music is a must! I have found that it has improved my leg strength tremendously. Lower body strength training is much easier for me than upper body.

    Put on my iPod and play a playlist that's about 50 mins long.

    Start the elliptical, put it on a setting where I can feel a slight "tug" in my legs.

    Moderate pace. Keep it there until the playlist ends.

    Do the workout four days per week.

    I hate the elliptical!!! But, I do 3 sets of 6 minutes in between my sets of strength training, so it's not too bad

    I love the eliptical and use it almost every day. I didnt love it at firat but I have seen the most difference with strength, weight loss, toning and endurence on it. I am trying to lose weight everywhere but really concerned about losing the stubborn tu,,y and its working! I throw on a headphones and a funny show and go. Its amazing how quickly my endurence for that has increased and Im able to increase speed and resistence. Good luck!

    oh thanks everyone, I'm pleased to hear of the results.

    I rented one here in Australia, it's an infiniti and so far very pleased. I find that I can do about 25-30 minutes.

    The iPod is a great idea, we have the elliptical behind the couch so right smack dab in front of the flat screen. I tivio'd the love boat, but it really does not have that lovely 'get up and go music' :/ PMSL

    To the last poster, I really too need an all body workout, esp for my upper arms. I do weights. I do a lot of walking too, but needed something for the upper arms.
