How to Use Gym Equipment to Exercise Your Cardiovascular System : Increase Resistance on the Elliptical Trainer for Cardio Exercise

[tripleMmagic]

I've decided that I'm going to use this machine as my main Cross-Trainer, since i'm a runner.

[iiHatezDomii]

its really hard tho

[skategivnkids]

1:19 "Fuck.. this is hard"

[kurtcoby]

I feel I get a better workout on an elliptical machine like this going hands-free and pumping my arms rather than an elliptical machine and pushing the handles.

[RobinGermanotta]

i wish i was older so i could got to the gym :(

I'm not 15 yet D:

[cheyanne2010]

@RobinGermanotta I know you wrote this awhile ago. But, working out at home can help you to lose weight, tone, and build strength. I have lost 35lbs at home in less than 5 months. I do have the help of a treadmill, handheld weights and the internet at my home though. My main exercise is working out with Free Online exercise videos and walking. You have to have a lot of determination to pull off working out at home. My College has a gym, so I willl start using that in a couple months. :)

eliptical sucks dick

[dar1e08]

Sorry, what is wrong with jogging? I can do that and it's free...wait it's also better for you!! I guess the downside is that the companies will have to scam someone else...

[gy3462]

@dar1e08 jogging does not give you the weight training resistance and is also very hard on your joints and knees and eventually you will have to give it up later on in life for a less impact workout. It also can break down cartilage

[elgransr]

@gy3462 That is the main reason I use an elliptical machine. I also read an article, from a dermatologist, that is better for you face skin. He said high recomendable to use an elliptical instead of running or jogging until we get a face bra.

@nejra its called cardio dumbass.

[letseatbutterchicken]

240p expert village, seriously...

[Nejra]

this thing is for pussies, real man use weights

[PartyOnKeepCalm]

ugh this machine is so hard.......

[AztecaMario]

@PartyOnKeepCalm

you must be so unfit

[PartyOnKeepCalm]

@AztecaMario actually, im on varsity softball and volleyball ....... your one to judge, huh? the elliptical is hard for someone who doesn't use gym equipment everyday, it's not something someone is use too when you first start off

[AztecaMario]

@PartyOnKeepCalm

I can already tell your lying and bullshitting. To be in a varsity team you must be able to run and be fit, this machine mocks running but at a lower intensity. If you find it hard to use this machine you must be out of shape and unfit, so yeah i am one to judge.

[johnsonphil85]

i cant help but lift my heels.is that a no no?

[Muchachi617]

@johnsonphil85 if you life your heels your working out more of your calfs, if you can keep your feet down and steady, works out mostly the whole leg. Either way you're working out.

[melagads]

amt is better

[lauralikes]

team treadmill!

[jaxblade07]

I do this after Working out on my leg days

[Chtyoah]

We have that same one... I run on it for about 40 minutes a day then 2 days a week i go for an hour... But I havent lost ANY weight at all IDK why any ideas? I don't eat a lot and I eat fairly decent food too not a lot of junkfood

[Chtyoah]

@Chtyoah Oh and I have been doing it for about 1 month

[haczabim]

@Chtyoah If you don't eat a lot, it could be that your body goes into starvation mode and begins to store more fat. or it could be related to the quality of the food you eat(junk food has lots of calories). You could go to a dietitian and have him/her give you a diet plan. It made a big difference to me.

[haczabim]

@Chtyoah 

[andrescaraudio]

@Chtyoah get a heart rate monitor and find out whats should be your hear rate to burn fat. You are probably just burning calories, but if you try harder and bring your heart rate to the top then u start burning fat.

Im not an expert but thats what my trainer tells me.. Also start building muscle that helps ur metabolism..

[ilovedragons]

What machine is this?!??!

[TheMslara26]

the lone man working out in the gym - kinda has an eerie vibe..

[chistophersaylor]

elliptical machines come with and without the top arm handles...

[kleinhurr]

if I had to put on my basement just 2 machines to exercise what should they be?

[st3phanic]

So can anyone tell me what this machine is called?

When I google Elliptical machine they give me the one where your legs go back and forth with moving handles..

[Sttar22]

@st3phanic It's the Precor EFX546. 

[DuckHeadlolz]

NOTICE his heels don't fly about, you see so many people doing this when using these machines and thinking that they're actually working out their body properly

[kolkukosta]

thats steper?

[Januarychic]

I used it every day for 45mins

[DanielBK13]

whats better to burn more fat and the man boobs... the elliptical machine or the treadmill machine?

[09senorita]

Hi Can you please advise me where I can buy this machine from which does 22 strides, I have searched all over on the net can seem to find one in the uk??

[Januarychic]

yes they toned my arms @Momoko458 ... yes you can use them at the same time as running or you dont have to, whatever your comfortable with, i personally think this type of machine you can you with handles does alot more for your arms than weights

[Ayann31022]

i lurrrrv that machine!!!^_^

[TimpBizkit]

watch?v=96Lup1uAb6s&feature=pl­ayer_embedded

[Januarychic]

I use it for 30mins a day as thats how long the course is for the weightloss one, Obviously i have lost more weight since my 1st comment :)

[Kevinjamesprojects]

I luv that machine.

[tanliliac]

how do you keep track of distance on the machine, is it in miles? my machine has a number for distance, but it increase too quickly that I think it must not be in miles

[Januarychic]

This is the main machine i use at the gym ... ours has handles that move aswel , so far its help me burn off 12lbs in 5 weeks, for me that is a big step!

[PolkaDotsAreGay]

@Januarychic how long would you use the machine for and how often in a week? :)

[Momoko458]

@Januarychic i dont get how to use the handles though, are they supposed to tone your arms at the same time? are you supposed to pull them along with your legs running?

[TheWHOOTZ]

@Momoko458 idk i think its for a more natural motion pluse u move more it cant hurt ;p

[DeathByPurpleUnicorn]

@Januarychic - Great job! How long and many times did you use the elliptical a week?

[TheWHOOTZ]

@Januarychic way to go man keep it up!

[TheSmartdude11]

@Januarychic how long did u use it for? like an hour because i want to lose 12lbs like u did but ive been using it for 30 min

[Januarychic]

@TheSmartdude11 i used it for 40mins a day sometimes longer it depended on my mood lol

[elgransr]

@Januarychic How long do you exercise per day? I want to loose weight as well.

[Januarychic]

@elgransr 1 hour a day :):)

[ikrizia]

@Januarychic how often do u go to the gym? and how long are you on the elliptical for?

[Januarychic]

@ikrizia i stopped for a while but i am now back using it ... but this time i do the hill climb programe and burn 400 cals in 35mins ... my older comment i was on the weightloss program ... so i think this time round i will lose weight alot quicker

[iiHatezDomii]

@Januarychic how many hours did you work out on it a day?

[Januarychic]

@iiHatezDomii 1 hour a day ... but i dont use this anymore as my main exercise i use the hill climb on the tredmill and burn over 1000 cals in 40mins which is alot better than this machine for me anyways :):) as i was only burning 500 each time i used it and took longer to lose weight

[cooldudethegreatspy]

Big doubt!. Does it help me reduce my weight?. I just click on the fatburn button on my machine which is pre-programmed for 30 minutes.

[pjartman]

well said!! thanks

[POSOLERIA]
