if you use it on a higher resistance it will tone it up

I don't have access to a stationary bike, but I do have access to an eliptical trainer to use during my lunch hour at work. On the eliptical, I like to set the resistance as high as I can, but still keeping a pace that will get my heart and lungs...

Sure it will. Any cardio conditioning will help. the eliptical is probably the best over all exercise device there is.

As for legs, not so much. The muscles used for walking are very different from those used for cycling. Only way...

i recently got an eliptical trainer, and i want to lose fat in my legs. i plan to run on it everyday...but for how long do i have to run per day to burn fat?

I do sweat on treadmill and burn a lot of calories and would assume I'd burn even more on the eliptical cross trainer which is pure torture IMO. Why do I burn so few calories on it but burn heaps on the easier treadmill?

It's probably closer to the true calorie consumption! Most machines vastly overestimate the number of calories you burn to make the machine more popular and to get people and gyms to buy them. Most overestimate up to 50% of what you really burn....

Someone told me that if I set the elipitcal trainer at a lower resistance and for a longer time period for like 45 mins. than I would burn more calories...and then someone else told me that larger muscles burn more calories..so I should set it at...

They are both right!

At the lower intensity, you will burn calories the longer you do it. This is very good cardiovascular exercise.

At the higher intensity (resistance), you are working your large muscle groups (ie,...
