If your goal is to lose belly fat, then ellipticals may not be the best choice of equipment. While they can help you burn calories and lose weight, they don’t target belly fat specifically. Instead, opt for equipment that will help you tone your entire body, such as a rowing machine or a stationary bike.
Yes, the elliptical can tone your body. It is a great cardio workout that can help you burn calories and fat. It can also help you build muscle and tone your legs, arms, and core.
An elliptical is a great way to get in a low impact cardio workout. But how much ground are you really covering when you step on an elliptical? If you’re using the machine to calculate how far you’ve gone, you might be surprised to learn that one mile on an elliptical is not actually one mile. The average person can expect to cover between 0.5 and 0.7 miles in 30 minutes on an elliptical. So, if you’re looking to get in a four-mile run, you’ll need to

Upon arrival, everything was ready, even the tools needed to put it together. With the help of my husband reading the directions and our joint problem-solving, my husband and I put it together with hardly any issues! The designs are quite detailed and helped us determine what was what and where it went. This worked nicely, and within a couple of hours we had finished it. We are amazed at the quality of the machine considering the pricing compared to others and how sturdy and simple to adjust it is. The computer functions nicely and lets you set the distance and duration as well as calculate calories. I'm really happy with this!

I did not purchase this to utilize under my desk, in contrast to practically everyone else in these reviews. I was 29 when I received a breast cancer diagnosis this past July, and as a result, I had to have chemotherapy and, more recently, surgery (but the chemotherapy worked!). Thus, all the suffering was worthwhile. Although I will always be happy for Zofran, I regrettably gained 15 pounds from the chemotherapy (steroids and chemotherapy-induced menopause somehow outweigh the nausea), and it also rendered me anemic, so the lethargy was a chronic side effect. Exercise can help combat lethargy and improve my self-esteem in light of my recent weight increase, according to the advice of virtually every medical practitioner at my cancer center. I was aware that for a while following surgery I wouldn't be allowed to exercise, but walking is generally acceptable and I understood the Cubii would be somewhat low impact and not require arm movement. It syncs to my Fitbit so I actually have steps tracked (as opposed to my arm workouts, which fool my Fitbit into thinking I'm active). I use it while watching TV and sitting on an exercise ball (in a base, because I didn't suffer cancer and cancer treatment only to roll away and break a leg). My favorite. In fact, I wished I had received it sooner in my treatment. Therefore, it's fantastic for cancer patients as well as workers, and if I can accomplish my fundamental goals, it has helped me feel more productive (and yes, it does somewhat help with the fatigue).

Since I've had the Cubii Jr for approximately two weeks, I've developed the routine of using it every day. I thoroughly researched this product before buying it because the cost was considerable and I wanted to be sure I'd use it. I was surprised by how heavy it was when it arrived. I had intended to use it at my desk during the day (I frequently work from home), then move it to the TV room for the evening, but the weight made me quickly abandon that idea. One thing I've found is that after getting on the Cubii and pedaling away when I was stressed out at work, all of the tension vanished within a short while. Since I'm 5'4-1/2, I had to lift my desk by 1 inch in order to utilize it properly because I couldn't cross my legs under it. Although not as much as with comparable products, your knees do rise and fall, so make sure your workstation or table has enough space for them to do so without slamming into the floor.With this device, you'll receive a straightforward workout, but don't anticipate burning hundreds of calories! I was seeking for something that would allow me to move around more while still allowing me to work because I frequently work out yet sit most of the day. This device provides that. It's merely an additional means of adding a little bit more movement.I believe that this elliptical is fantastic, however do your research before making a purchase. It costs a lot, so be sure you'll use it frequently. It's too heavy to move around easily, too pricey to not use, and too large to just leave lying around without getting in the way. I hope someone may find this information beneficial!

One more update Sunny Health was not at fault for the problem I experienced with the phone call to support; it was Amazon. The My Orders page's help link is designed for desktop use and autofill. You can't enter your phone number using a mobile device. Sunny Health wins at the expense of Amazon.Once I was able to receive Sunny Health's number from Amazon help, they pleasantly and effortlessly replaced my digital monitor. They repeatedly contacted me to make sure I got the part. I ADORE my device.Update: As much as I adore the machine, the digital display has been quite dull ever since I first got it. Even after I changed the battery, the display is only just readable. The Amazon app has a section where I can enter my phone number to have support call me when I try to contact them. My phone number cannot be entered because the field already contains the area code and the hyphen punctuation. It inserts are code parenthesis around all of the numerals. I've tried a few various methods, but I'm still unable to contact and ask if I need a new monitor. Therefore, the abandonment rating of 5 stars is drastically reduced to 1 star.A low impact exercise equipment was required after knee replacement surgery to aid improve range of motion. I like this since I can make it low impact and then increase the resistance after I'm fully healed. My dad, who is 90 years old, has also been utilizing it to bolster his strength. It has a nice handle (other models have a recessed area to grab). I believe I can use it under my desk at work because it is low enough in height (although I haven't gone to work yet). It fits beneath the table perfectly. This is a terrific buy and definitely worth keeping! a sturdy, well-built piece of machinery.

This device is incredibly smooth, highly quiet, and well-engineered. I anticipate using it for a long time.The following are the reasons why there are only three stars:>> There is hardly any useable indication of the resistance setting on the resistance knob.This makes reaching a particular resistance all but impossible. A simple sticker with numbers would suffice.>> The upright tubes' bottoms, which fit into the main unit, are just a little bit too small. This requires overtightening the attachment screws to prevent movement because otherwise, every change in direction causes a small bump.>> The hardware is packaged in a sizable blister pack, which is OK, however the cardboard on the back separated because there wasn't enough glue, leaving screws and washers free inside the delivery box. I eventually went to the neighborhood Big-Box store to obtain replacements after looking through the entire box and all of the wrappings.Fortunately, there were no unique screws or curved washers involved; just washers and sheet metal screws.One more thing: they really ought to think about include a heart monitor. I know it didn't come with one, so I paid $20 to get one.updated on 9/3/18new rating of four stars; The device is excellent! just only 15 minutes per day, you have already dropped some weight!

My Gazelle Edge was just delivered to me last week. I enjoy using it, and the computer appears to be comparable to the distance and calories expended on an elliptical machine of gym-quality (where you can program your age and weight).I've read a ton of reviews—the negative ones first—in an effort to find out how to avoid the problems raised.I discovered the following YouTube link for assembly:Before attaching the right and left bars, I also applied vaseline in advance on the axle bar.I took my time, am 58 years old, and only needed help lifting the Gazelle after it was put together. I doubt I needed assistance; it's only a small amount of weight. For me, it took around an hour and a half; I used a phillips screwdriver and a little adjustable wrench. I took pictures as I unpacked to document how to ship the item again if it turned out to be faulty.The reasons I chose a Gazelle over an elliptical machine: 1) Dimension. A good elliptical will be 1) Low joint impact and 2) Much heavier than I can move it on my own. Although the muscle groups I worked out are still sore, my knees do not hurt like they do after a bike ride or elliptical workout at the gym. 3) Cost. If I use this gadget every day for a year, it will cost about the same as a gym subscription (and I won't have an excuse not to go to the gym).Prepared to regularly check for loose screws and oil moving parts.I did give the Gazelle Supreme some thought, but the reviews—not the greater price—put me off.The computer on this gadget, which I like, shows Speed and time (an average of mph), Far (I aim for 5 miles, which takes around 74 minutes, oddly enough, that's 2 minutes slower than when I physically walk that distance) and Calories (for 74 minutes, the display read that I had burned 576 calories which is probably pretty close-I would burn 300 per 30 minutes on the gym elliptical).You should watch the YouTube video since it answers the most common squeaky complaint.If they utilized only metal or had a computer backlight, I would willingly pay more for this item. The first time I used it, my feet did suffer, but utilizing gelsole inserts in my sneakers fixed that.I really like this device, however it seems a little flimsy. I hope it lasts. This is the reason I only gave 4 stars. My fan is much louder than this, and I work up a sweat using this!I'm quite happy so far!

To use in front of my standing desk, I purchased this. I enjoy it. It is substantial and heavy, with many metal components. It was simple to put together and reasonably compact for what it is.I don't think it's fair to compare it to a real exercise machine because it has a small stride. But I think it's a wonderful device for light exercise where you just keep moving.It's also quiet, which is a plus.All things considered, I believe it has one significant flaw: there is no way to control it.A tiny laptop like this should, in my opinion, be simple to slide into and out of position in front of my desk. It would have been tremendously simple if there had been a handle on top. There is no simple method to move this, though, as it stands. As the pedals slide all over the place, you can't grab it by the pedals.Overall, a pretty fantastic product, however I'm going to deduct one star for the lack of a handle.UPDATE:One problem, as has been mentioned by others, is that the wheels eventually begin to "squeak." I've discovered that the problem is that they just get a little dusty, and because the wheel moves around a little bit, there is enough friction to produce the squeak. The wheels may be cleaned every day, although that is annoying.By purchasing some "drawer sliding tape," I was able to resolve this issue. It is intended to make drawers open more easily. Since I put strips on the base where the wheel rides, there have been no squeaks. I believe the business ought to include some of these strips with the item.

I spent four hours on it, primarily by myself. The heavy parts are a little tough to move and put together, but what do you expect when installing an elliptical machine?-Exercises on this machine appear much harder than they did on the one I used at the gym; I believe this is because the fly wheel isn't free spinning and isn't as hefty as those at the gym.-When I change the resistance or incline, the fan and console both vibrate somewhat.-Read the instructions on how to use the console because it's not very simple to browse through the programs.assembly adviceDepending on your physical condition, it may be difficult to maneuver.

My elliptical is AMAZING! I've had for roughly two months. I adore the mode that changes between time, pulse, distance, etc. and displays your total mileage as well as the number of miles you've covered thus far. Knowing that I've driven 70 miles since receiving it, I think it's amazing! Make sure you pay attention to the specific pieces to use when joining the left and right pedals to the back. I put it together myself, and it wasn't too difficult. As mine first made noise, I would advise applying some WD 40 to it. But all I had to do was remove the side cover and spritz a few spots, and it has worked perfectly ever since. It's light enough for me to move it into the guest room when I have visitors but tiny enough that I can leave it in my living room when I don't. Despite having a short stride, it works perfectly for me because I'm only 5'1". Please select the helpful option if you found this review useful.
If you're looking to get fit, 30 minutes of elliptical is a great start. This low-impact cardio workout can help you burn calories and improve your heart health. Plus, it's a great way to get your sweat on without putting too much strain on your joints.
The answer to this question is no, a mile on an elliptical is not the same as running. The two activities use different muscle groups and burn different amounts of calories. Additionally, running is a weight-bearing exercise, meaning it puts stress on your bones and joints, while elliptical trainer use is non-weight bearing.
An elliptical machine is a great workout because it is low impact and easy on the joints. Additionally, it is a great cardio workout and can help to tone the legs and buttocks.
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on individual preferences and goals. However, in general, cycling is a more effective workout than using an elliptical machine. This is because cycling requires more effort and engages more muscles, which results in a higher calorie burn. Additionally, cycling outdoors provides many benefits that elliptical training cannot, such as fresh air and scenery.
Yes, elliptical is better than walking because it is a low-impact workout that is easy on your joints. Additionally, elliptical provides a full-body workout, whereas walking only works your lower body.
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the individual. Some people find that elliptical trainers are good for their knees, while others find that they cause pain or discomfort. If you have knee pain or are recovering from a knee injury, it is important to consult with your doctor or physical therapist before using an elliptical trainer.
