Question About Elliptical

I usually do 50 minutes on the elliptical (followed by 15-20 on a rowing machine) every morning. I have been doing an interval program at a pretty high incline and resistance. This morning, to change things up, I did a different program ('fat burn"). Both the incline and the resistance were much lower but I went much faster. It felt easier though. I ended up burning 25% MORE calories than I usually do, in the same amount of time. I am almost at goal weight-wise, but really want to tone my lower half (thighs and butt). Which program is better for that? Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • if you want to "tone" areas of your body, you're not going to get that from a cardio machine. try weight training. squats, lunges, deadlifts are all good choices.
