[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't tone on an elliptical because toning is not a thing. It's fat loss and muscle gain. THAT'S IT. You're not going to gain muscle on an elliptical. [/quote]

Ok then what's the point? How is an elliptical the most effective?[/quote]

Where did you hear/read that elliptical is the most effective? [/quote]

I didn't say it is the most effective piece of equipment. I asked how to make using one most effective for the user. [/quote]

Honestly? It's most effective for doing an easy warmup before a harder workout or a lifting session. I rarely see anyone using it for a workout that will actually have any effect on weight loss.  Just my opinion. [/quote]

I'm in this camp.  Elliptical is basically what I do to warm up my whole body before I lift, sometimes as steady state cardio when I'm done with my workout and waiting on my husband to finish.  But if it works for you, then use it.  I don't know anyone that's seen results using an elliptical.  [b]Better to walk on a treadmill at an incline.[/b] [/quote]

Why is this better?[/quote]

Personally I have a harder time getting my heart rate up on the elliptical.  A slow jog on an incline and my heart rate goes up quickly - then I can switch to walking at a pace to maintain my target heart rate.  [/quote]
