Long Time Elliptical User.
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…

(5'6, 198lbs) I liked the glider a lot and I managed to stay…
Calorie reading
Ok, I would like to believe my machine , i workout at level one, on fat burn, I am forty. The machine says I lose 250 calories in thirty mins. All the machines in my gym give the same read. Any opinions? Is this correct as per ur experience? In forty five mins it says 375 calories!
Elliptical Interval Workouts
I've realized that time FLIES when using an predetermined interval workout on the elliptical. Because you have short 1 to 5 minute bursts, it feels like you're hitting a lot of small goals and keeps motivation the whole way through. I've listed a few links for interval workouts, please feel free to post your own! 30 Minute…
How to use most efficiently and other questions
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…
