I'm obsessed with the elliptical trainer...
http://www.advancedfitness.com/news/elliptical.htm wrote:Weight bearing exercises like running, hiking and aerobics benefits the body in ways that non-weight bearing exercises like rowing and cycling cannot. Weight resistant workouts builds bone density and burns calories more efficiently.
For individuals trying to burn calories and trim down, the weight-bearing arm/leg exercise optimizes energy expenditure during self-selected exercise of moderate intensity in overweight subjects. In recent studies it was concluded that energy expenditure among overweight subjects was higher on the elliptical machine than a treadmill, or leg cycles with and without upper body motion. For overweight individuals who are initiating a regular exercise program to decrease excess body fat, they will find that elliptical treadmills optimize energy expenditure.
Who else is obsessed?
Re: I'm obsessed with the elliptical trainer...
oh the cross-trainer's almost like my baby.
I pushed myself to do the hour long course the other day and burnt 800 cals and then i went on the running machine for another 30mins (and worked off an entire binge after going back on the cross trainer again after ^_^)
I have some serious love to give to the inventor of this one!

I am in love with the cross trainer. I have to re do my membership at the gym at some point, but I am really paranoid about working out in front of loads of skinny people-my uni is basically based on three professions-teaching (me!), nursing (flatmate) and sports-hence there are loads of fit skinny pretty people. jealous
