Will an eliptical trainer help lose weight?

Answer 1

through my experience the elliptical burned about 10 calories per minute.if you stay on for a half hour you burn 300 calories which can be a whole meal. this depends on your matabilism but for the most part you will burn a fair amount. even more then running sometimes

Answer 2

First off, short of Liposuction there's no way to target weight loss, you have to settle for losing a little all over. Eventually it'll begin to show in your problem areas.

Any method that you're able to stick to and can get your heart rate elevated is a good method for losing weight. The trick is:

1) Watch What You Eat. If you're overeating, it doesn't really matter what you do for exercise, as you simply can't burn calories off at the same rate as you can eat them. Once cupcake outside your "allowance" can take one hour to exercise away, and then you're just back to square one for that day.

2) Do Your Exercise Hard Enough, Long Enough and Often Enough.

1-2 times/week won't really help. 10-15 minutes at a time won't really help. If you're not getting winded or sweaty it's not really helping either. You need to aim for 30-60 minutes, 2-3 times/week, at a level where youy're getting seriously winded and sweaty.

Answer 3

Yes, an elliptical provides a great way to burn calories. To burn the maximum amount when using an elliptical, make sure to use the upper arm bars. The more you have to work, the more calories you will burn.

Answer 4

Elliptical machines are intended for aerobic or cardiovascular exercises. The elliptical is frequently used by people to raise their heart rates, burn calories, and reduce body fat. Although aerobic activity can help you lose weight, it won't make your belly fat disappear overnight.

Yes, the elliptical helps to burn fat from your whole body.
