What's the difference between using the elliptical (moderate intensity) and the elliptical (cross-trainer). The points for the latter are double. I always do the elliptical using the arms as well as the legs, but I've been using the lower count.

I just wanted to mention that I once bought a Precor elliptical....what I thought was the gold standard of elliptical machines. Well, I was VERY wrong. It wasn't the model that you see at they gyms, but it used to be the one that was first seen in gyms. It ended up having SO many problems and I had to spend hundreds of dollars trying to repair it and now, it's just an ugly ...

Original Post by bmx419 : Original Post by aimee-grump : What are the pros and cons of each piece of equipment? Is one REALLY better than the other? Or is it just that specific needs can be met best by one or the other? Definitely a personal choice. IMO, the elliptical should only be used in rehab situations, where the impact of running isn't healthy. When I had shin splints...

Original Post by bmx419 : That stinks, dabrock. I only used it maybe 3 or 4 times for like 10mins each time, just so I wouldn't be lying to me physical therapist when he asked if I was using it. He seemed to insist I do it instead of spinning... LOL I understand how things are in the military...orders are orders and you followed them!

Whatever pumps your heart rate. My hip pins make it so I can never find a comfortable seat level on a stationary bike. I ride a regular bike around the park on off days and hit the elliptical after lifting.

How do I calculate the APs based on calorie burn? According to the screen, I'm buring 350-400 calories for a 50 min workout. I'm counting that as 3 points because I'm just listing it as "elliptical, moderate intensity." How do I do my own calculation?

( Yea!! I would love to know how you like this; once you get it home and try it out. My husband and I have been toying with the idea of getting rid of our exercise bike and getting an elliptical. Unfortunately there is no room for both; not even really room for one; but we want some kind of exercise equipment. We are looking in the $300 range -- hope that doesn't equal super cheap quality....

Thanks for asking this, I've been wondering it as well. What if you use an elliptical with arms but you don't actually use the arms? I use the one at the gym, which does have the arms, and I use the arms maybe 60% of the time.
