One of the most appealing machines in the gym right now is the elliptical trainer. You’ll find out though, that the elliptical is not very beneficial for calorie consumption and fat loss. You’ll usually find a lot of elliptical enthusiasts in a weight loss forum.
You’ll find highly regarded health periodicals discourage elliptical use except in cases where a person has knee problems.For those who have good knees, you’ll want to read on to find out why exercising on the elliptical machine is a bad idea.
The proof is in the pudding, and for most people, there’s very little in the way of positive results to show for a lot of time spent on those machines. The bottom like is that they can’t be trusted. Sure, they tell you all those calories were burned, but somehow your body always stays the same or gets worse.
Does it surprise you that the calorie count on the machines are inflated by about one-third?
Another reason to eschew ellipticals is that they are too easy and you don’t feel like you’re doing anything. In fact, one Biggest Loser participant talked about how they are useless. My rule of thumb is that if you’re not feeling like you’re working out, you’re not working out. In short, ellipticals will not give you rapid weight loss.
Right there you’ll find the 3rd reason to stay away from the ellipticals: the way people are. What I mean is that people are always looking for the easiest way to get what they want, and that’s why ellipticals are so popular.
If you’ve been around gyms for a while, you’ll know that people will choose an elliptical machine over a treadmill any day since there is less work to do.
The truth is that it’s going to take work to get that fat off your body and to keep it off. Looking for easy routes to your goals are going to disappoint you all the time. When you lose 20 pounds it will because you quit the elliptical trainers.
