An elliptical trainer is a machine that is a combination of the treadmill, ski machine and a stepping machine. It imitates walking, running, climbing without putting stress on joints.\u00a0Elliptical\u00a0exercises\u00a0can vary from light to high intensity based on the resistance preference set.<\/p>\n

\n
• Calories burned on elliptical trainer<\/strong> are almost the same to that on a treadmill<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  30 minutes on elliptical trainer\u00a0burn approximately 300 calories, and body continues to burn calories at for some time afterwards. It tones the entire body, which makes it look leaner.<\/p>\n

  By moving forward on the machine we work leg\u00a0muscles:<\/p>\n

  – Quadriceps (the muscles on the front of our thighs)<\/p>\n

  – Gluteal muscles (our butt muscles)<\/p>\n

  How to burn more calories on elliptical<\/h2>\n

  \n
  • Elliptical gives all the cardio-aerobics benefits and helps burning calories fast.<\/li>\n
  • Slightly\u00a0more calories burned by going in reverse on elliptical, but it\u2019s still not enough to justify the potential pressure put on the knees.<\/li>\n
  • Getting your balance on an elliptical machine can be a difficult at first. But note that you\u2019ll burn more calories if you let go of the handles than if you’ll be hanging on.\u00a0Hands-free position also helps achieve better posture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Is elliptical calories burned accurate<\/h3>\n

    If you are not sure whether your elliptical machine shows you right amount of calories burned,\u00a0I would\u00a0recommend\u00a0researching and buying a good heart rate monitor. They go as a watch or a chest-strap. Body heart rate monitors usually much more\u00a0accurate measuring elliptical calories burned<\/strong> than the calculators included\u00a0to elliptical and\u00a0treadmills.<\/p>\n
