Hi there! Bill & Mary here. We're long time elliptical users. We generally chug away for 60 to 90 minutes per day 4 or 5 days a week at high intensity. We're in our late 70s and have a Lifefitness E5. I find the elliptical is one of the few exercises I can do that's weight bearing, low impact, and makes nice with my…
Hi there, I love using the elliptical. It’s helped me lose over 50lbs so far.
Looking for friends to help in their journey. I think that having support is the key to success. Let's support each other. Plus, I would love to hear from anyone that has creative workout routines using elliptical machines. Add me.
What are the best stretches for pre and post workout?

(5'6, 198lbs) I liked the glider a lot and I managed to stay…

I've listed a few links for interval workouts, please feel free to post your own! 30 Minute…
Hi, I've just started working out on the elliptical again, right now I'm at 30 mins but I have just started and want to increase the time progressively. Just curious, how long do you guys use it? I am looking to burn as much fat as possible in the first place, so what should I do? I do not have a heart machine thingy. I…
