Why is it that when I use the elliptical at the gym I only burn about 250 calories every 40 min, but at home i burn about 500 in the sme amount of time? I use the same settings and work just as hard.

I’ve using the elliptical machine for 3 days now, I’ve never exercised before in my life so right now I can only go like 5 minutes before getting tired. I slow down like 1 minute and start going again but I find it much easier to do it without having to hold the two sticks on the side that move back and forth. Instead I use the handles in the front. Am I burning less calories this way or something?

So I convinced my mom to get me a treadmill but her price range is $400 max.. Ive found tons of great deals on treadmills and now im wondering

Which is better, a treadmill or an elliptical. What is the difference?

SLouiseJ. (RIP Michael Jackson&l asked:


My most problematic areas are my legs, especially my thighs, but I really want to just lose weight/become slimmer in general. Are cross trainers good for this? Or do they only target one area? Or is a running machine better?
