I do 35-50 min. a day on the elliptical trainer and feel pretty good, firm, etc. Workout feels pretty complete as is but I wonder if I'm missing something. Slipped disc means just about all stretching is out so no yoga, pilates beyond a few...

I think some kind of resistance training is always good - scratch that, almost a necessity- to include in your routine. If you're trying to lose fat, more lean muscle = a faster metabolism = more calories burned throughout the day. If you're trying

I have been diagnosed with a completely torn ACL and a tear in the meniscus after I twisted my knee during a fall. I am thinking about surgery in the next year or so. Meanwhile I would like to continue my fitness routine to prevent gaining weight and

I would not go on an eliptical trainer, personally, and I'd stay clear of the bicycle. Swimming is probably your best bet.

I'm a diabetic and I'm trying to lose weight. I do an hour on the elliptical at least 5 days a week. I also plan to add weight training soon, but my concern right now is cardiovascular fitness and fat burning. I know weight training will help with

Hey :)
My mum is mid 60's, in pretty good health with average fitness.
I was wondering if an elliptical trainer would be a good way for her to lose weight & tone up a little.
Would this be too hard an item to use? is there...

It would be just fine, since they give a low-impact cardiovascular workout, and it will not hurt her knees. An elliptical cross trainer is comparable to a treadmill in its exertion of leg muscles and the heart. However, because the user's limbs...
