How long do you stay on an elliptical in one stretch? They seem very intense. I don’t use them because I don’t want them to tire me out too quickly, plus I don’t have the stamina for elliptical.

I prefer the Elliptical over treadmill. Elliptical burns more calories over treadmill and works more muscle groups.

Curious I didnt feel that it was more intense or tiring, give it a try you’ll like it. :slight_smile:

I agree with DesC… I do 45 minutes usually.. if I am bored and lazy then 20 min

It’s debatable that elliptical burns more calories. It doesn’t feel harder and in my experience, if it don’t hurt as much, it don’t help as much :slight_smile:

But it is low impact if you have joint problems and for that reason alone I would say go for it.

Re: Elliptical Trainer

I definitely like it better than a treadmill…the intensity varies depending on the incline and resistance…I can usually go for about 40 minutes before I start to give out…I’m slowly working my way up

Re: Elliptical Trainer

Yes, how much does a decent elliptical trainer cost in PK. Not those flimsy Renker sort ones though. Need something that is actually going to last.

Re: Elliptical Trainer

I used to workout exclusively on elliptical, but when I started working out again I found myself drawn to the treadmill…nothing beats that feeling of running I think :stuck_out_tongue:

but I think given teh choice, get an elliptical…cz u can always walk/jog outdoors.
