Question: I just bought an eliptical trainer and I need to know what kind of workout will burn more calories.?
Question Description:
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 a higher resistance and I won't have to work out as long... Is this true for both statements??? I am confused..and I just want to know what kind of workout I should do on my eliptical trainer to burn the most calories..and cut weight..

Answer#1: 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, thighs, glutes, and abs from the twisting). You will burn more calories and tone your muscles at the same time.Alternate both methods on different days so you can reach both goals in a shorter amount of time.
Answer#2: Intervals are the best. Use a higher resistance off and on and a faster and slower speed off and on for best results.
